Double Breasted Style.

[ruvort]

48 Chest, 38 Waist..............think I can pull off double breasted?

Of course. Just don't go for extreme waist suppression and make sure your trousers are full.

Sadly, these come off as a bit top heavy due to the lack of fullness in the trousers. The post by Terrence illustrates how fuller trousers are more balanced:

preach it brother. I’ve been saying this on here for years ...

The trousers complete the balance of the silhouette. But folks pay scant attention to trousers.

That plaid overcoat the gentlemen on the right is holding looks fantastic! I‘ve been searching for a similar cloth for ages now.

Opinions on the balance of the trousers of the first three pics in this post?

Negative. The trousers are too skinny. Worse still, the leg opening (ankle) is like a drain pipe.

Was gonna use my vintage cream silk jacket as a dj but I have let out as much as I can and have the rare problem of the jacket being a tad bit too small for me so it will be relegated as a going out jacket where I will wear it open

I don't know how is the fit, but it looks OK on you especially in its by-design normal buttoning mode.

I have to comment, though, (perhaps to be considered on a future commission) that the pocket flaps (their height) are really big and hence disproportional to my eyes.

Sorry mate!
