Double-breasted blazers for men

Double-breasted blazer – distinctive style with historical weight

At Grade A Copenhagen you will find an exclusive selection of double-breasted blazers that combine classic men's fashion with modern finesse.

History and origin

The double-breasted blazer originated in 19th-century military and maritime uniforms, where the wide front and double-button closure provided better wind protection. It quickly acquired a ceremonial and respectful feel – an aura that still accompanies the design today.

What characterizes a double-breasted blazer today?

A modern double-breasted blazer has its own language and demands a wearer with style and confidence. It's a jacket that never gets lost in a crowd.

• Button configuration: Classic 6×2 – six buttons, two of which are active.
• Lapels: Peak lapels to emphasize the formal expression.
• Cut and construction: Structured or semi-soft shoulder, slightly longer than a single-breasted model.
• Visual effect: The wide front creates a distinctive V-shape and highlights the upper body.
• Closed silhouette: Designed to be worn closed – the jacket doesn't make the same impression open.

When and how to wear a double-breasted blazer?

A double-breasted blazer is ideal for situations where you want to signal style, authority and sophistication. It works for:

• Business: Shirt, tie and gray wool trousers – preferably with black or brown oxfords.
• Smart casual: For example, a turtleneck and flannel pants or dark chinos.
• Summer: Light colored linen blazer with polo and loafers.

Avoid wearing T-shirts underneath – it disrupts the authority of the blazer and can make the look appear messy.

Choose your first double-breasted blazer carefully

Before you invest in your first double-breasted blazer , you should think along the following lines:

• Color: Start with navy, gray or dark colors – classic, versatile and elegant.
• Fabric: Choose smooth wool or hopsack. Avoid flannel as a first choice.
• Lapel: Peak lapels only – notch seems too soft and tones down the silhouette.
• Buttons: Go with dark and discreet variants for a clean look.
• Fit: The shoulders should be sharp, the waist should not be tight, and the length should balance the width of the front.
• Worn closed: A good double-breasted blazer should be designed to look best closed.
• Test with two types of pants: Gray wool pants and navy or dark chinos – if it works with one pair, the blazer is wardrobe-ready.
