Different Kinds

of Jackets
 A suit ('lounge suit' or 'business
suit') is a semi-formal ensemble. It
always includes a jacket and
trousers (pants). In classical
gentlemen's tailoring, a waistcoat
(U.S: vest) is usually worn with
single-breasted suits.

three-piece, or single- and
double-breasted, determine the

garment. Often, suits are worn,
