Black? No.
Black suits are not allowed, I am afraid.
Looks good in black to me

Here's one... It's a Mizanni at FashionMensWear.com, reasonably priced. Wool.
I think all the DB suits posted in this thread are hideous. I dislike the style in general (full disclosure), but if you must go down that avenue I think it can look quite respectable if the two columns of buttons aren't too far apart -- I still abhor those extra buttons splayed on the upper chest . Prada F/W '09 came as close to doing "desirable" (to me) DB suits as anybody, but I still don't like them much and would never buy one. S/S '10 included lots of two-button DB suits which I actually like because they're so unconventional, they avoid those silly "nipple buttons" and the lapels don't look like something out of an old Scorsese movie. And honestly, having a ticket pocket on a DB suit (Denzel) is just too much going on.
Really, that's news to me. That's kind of discouraging actually, as it means it still may never come here. If they really are still popular there, then why is it almost impossible to find here, even from the major Italian designers?
I wouldn't call it a "twist" exactly. A well-tailored double-breasted jacket is nothing new at all.
I thought Steven Aver's looked pretty good:
How much does Aver do his suits for? I'm well interested in a DB, is it that the bottom button is undone?

uhh,yeah it is.take a look around next time you are downtown of your city and see how many you see.zero.they are all boxy
That is quite respectable, actually. The cut is way better than Denzel's (he looks so wide!), the pockets seem a tad smaller, it definitely helps that they aren't slanted, any maybe the lighter colors helps somehow? I can't really put my finger on it -- I was going to say the lapels are narrower but they look about the same width as Denzel's, so maybe then it's the length of the suit? Either way I still hate the top two buttons, and I think the whole jacket would look much cleaner if they were simply removed from the original design.
They should based on the military lineage. Other lapels are bastardizations. If you saw a notch lapel DB it would look silly. I recently saw that Twilight vampire kid in a shawl lapel DB and he looked silly.Do DB suits always and invariably have peak lapels?
I enjoy 4x1s almost as much as 6x2s. Disagree that the jacket looks cleaner w/o them - I think the 6x2 looks more balanced.
