oh, the jacket in question is a vintage yves st laurent maybe suit jacket, brown with black, white and pink thin(one thread) pinstripes.

they tend to look massive if they aren't done up

For a suit jacket, you should leave the top unbuttoned.

I'm very certain double breasted suits are meant to be worn with the top row unbuttoned.

Look at Letterman, I think he use double breasted suits....

Any suit, regardless of double or single, should never have the last button fastened.

For a double-breasted suit, it'd be depend if it was a 4 or 6 button jacket. If 4 button, then only the top button should be fastened; conversely, if it's a 6 button, then you can button the first 2 buttons but leave the last one unfastened.

To answer the question, double-breasted jackets look horrible open...they definitely should be buttoned at all times.

EDIT: And oh, for reference, the picture DJ Flame posted would be considered a 4 button, not a 6.

yeah, its too big unbuttoned. im not too keen on the look when buttoned with jeans either, but definitely wear it if you want, it just isnt my thing.

actually, it would work if you wore it unbuttoned in a more wack japanese way, but not if you try to look semi-tidy.

btw is that a tshirt under your shirt?

Buttoned.

The man who perfected the double-breasted suit in the 80s, was Philip Michael Thomas from Miami Vice. Don't think I ever saw him going unbuttoned in the 5 or so years of that show.

DB suits should always be buttoned. They look crappy undone.
