Far from unusual at this time.

If you look very carefully you will see he switched to DB about twenty years ago probably with a mix of new suits and others from the Earl Mountbatten's wardrobe skilfully altered for him.

You will still see him wearing SB suits today - in hot places he sensibly wears lightweight SB suits. If you also study photographs of him you will see him in a heavy fawn top coat - dead ringer for Mountbatten's wardrobe.

His Royal Highness is very thrifty with clothes as was demonstrated a couple of years back when he was shown wearing an old Barbour jacket when hedge building on his estate. It comprised more packing tape that waxed cloth!

I dont know,but i like the actual simgle breasted because is very reminescent of bespoke suits of 60s.
