1920s Double Breasted Suit

Our 1920s double breasted suit is a three-piece in gray pinstripe: a six-button jacket fastening two by three, with wide peak lapels, flap pockets, a double back vent and four-button cuffs, plus a single-breasted six-button vest and flat-front trousers. Wide lapels and a double-breasted front are the details that make a suit read as Prohibition era rather than office wear.

Reading the Sizes of This Double Breasted Suit

Please read this first. The suit is cut to Asian sizing, about three to four sizes smaller than US labels, so we have named each size by the body chest it fits, from 32 to 44 inches. As a guide, Asian XL is close to a US S, XXL and 3XL to a US M, and 4XL and 5XL to a US L; there is no equivalent for US XL or larger. Trouser waists run from about 28.7 in (73 cm) in Asian S to 42.5 in (108 cm) in 5XL; check both on the chart.

Wearing a Pinstripe Suit to a 1920s Party

Keep the jacket buttoned over a white shirt, a dark tie or bow tie and a flat-folded pocket square. A gray felt fedora and two-tone shoes finish the gangster look for a Gatsby party, a speakeasy night or a themed wedding. More pieces for the outfit are in our 1920s mens clothing.
