Etymology
The word double-breasted is made from double ('two') and breast ('chest' or 'front part' of a piece of clothing). So it means a piece of clothing with 'two fronts', which is why a double-breasted coat has two overlapping fronts and two rows of buttons, with one side buttoning over the other.
