Types of Suit Jackets. The jacket is the focal point of any suit. When buying a jacket, the things to consider include fit, occasion and personal taste. The single-breasted jacket has a single vertical row of buttons for front closure. The double-breasted jacket has two rows of buttons in vertical rows.
All single-breasted suit jackets with more than three buttons and double-breasted suit jackets with more than six buttons are considered fashion statements and should be avoided by most men. The type of lapel, number of buttons, and number of vents should correspond directly to the shape of the man.
