But double breasted does have its advantages - the double coverage over the belly can have a bit of a shapewear-ish effect, holding everything in. And the buttons don't gape so much as they do on lighter single-breasted pieces. I think the trick with coats is just to try LOADS on, and to consider buying a size bigger (particularly with a belted one) so there's room for winter clothing underneath!
