Video Transcript
Two different types of fronts you tend to have a jacket, one is single breasted the other a double breasted. Single breasted you can have three different button positions, a one button, two button and then a three button. The three button obviously closes the front up and you show less waistcoat, shirt, tie. Slightly more formal is double breasted, and there's very many button orientations on that. This is often seen in military garments, and a misconception about a double breasted jacket isn’t as as fitted as a single breasted and actually you can see from this, this is not made for a mannequin, this is a customers jacket. but you can see the shape we’re able to achieve in a double breasted jacket, it doesn’t need to be square and boxy just because there’s more cloth on the front.
