Lot 1102 Double-Breasted Suit Coat

The double-breasted suit became widely popular in the 1930s. Compared to modern suits, it had slightly wider shoulders, a shorter length, a fitted waist, no rear vent, and wider lapels. This design emphasized body proportions, creating a confident and refined impression. The accompanying trousers were high-waisted and wide-legged, often featuring pleats positioned outward and adjustable waist tabs. These wide-leg pants balanced the overall look, contrasting the fitted jacket to enhance the wearer’s shape and add a refined, classic touch to the ensemble.
