Double-breasted jackers were one of the popular styles of sack suits. We see a range of styling. Some of the jackets seem to be done with ornamental rather than functional buttons. We note a range of detailing such as piping. The suits were dome with different type of pants. We are not sure when double-brested suits first appeared in France. Popularity varied over time. We have found examples from the 1870s, but they may have appeared earlier. This was a style for school-age boys and adults. It continued to be a popular style into the 20th century.
