Which do you prefer? I always thought double vents were a bit too formal since I don't have to wear full out suits for work but I tried on a Raf with double vents recently and it looked fine.

Re: Blazers: Single vent vs. Double vents
Do you mean vents or single vs. double breasted? If vents, I like both. If breast - I generally don't like double-breasted unless the rows of buttons are close together. In part I don't like it because I'm pretty short, and I avoid anything that makes me look even shorter (i.e. horizontal stripes, etc). I also don't really like how double breasted looks when open.

Re: Blazers: Single vent vs. Double vents
I'm a bigger fan of the single back slit. The dual slits result in that weird "butt flap" which reminds me of those old school pajamas with the button-up ass flap so you can poo without taking your clothes off all the way.
Single slit is clean and modern.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

Re: Blazers: Single vent vs. Double vents
Double vents bug me because it makes my jacket feel like it's not one solid piece of clothing. Not sure if that explains it. But a single vent allows movement while also looking clean. But I would wear a double vent if it fit well.

Re: Blazers: Single vent vs. Double vents
I prefer single vents for myself. Double vents seem very British to me for some reason, but that can be good if you're going for more of a british dandy or mod look. I agree that on some jackets it can look too much like a bum flap, and nobody wants that.

Re: Blazers: Single vent vs. Double vents
You're right. In suit jakcets I always aim for the British dandy look.
For example while most people on here will wear a black suit in a stark, minimalist manner (think white shirt, skinny tie), I would instead opt for a dark maroon pocket square, solid red tie and some purple argyle socks.
There is something timeless about the British look that I find irrestitable.
