Sources and methods

The news and analysis on doublebreast is compiled from a curated selection of published feeds and indexes of news publications. These sources focus exclusively on the site's core subjects: the garment itself, the occasions for which it is worn, and the considerations of climate. Each story from these publications is processed with automated assistance to extract the key facts and arguments. It is then rewritten into a concise summary, always credited to the original publication from which the information was sourced.

When a factual claim or piece of information appears in only one publication, it is treated with particular caution. Such information is not presented as established fact but is instead contextualised within the reporting of that single outlet. The summary will make clear the provenance of the claim, allowing the reader to understand its singular source.

The site's reference pages, covering garments, occasions, fabrics, brands, tailors, and wardrobe principles, are built differently. They are constructed from stable, widely corroborated facts. Each reference page centres on a core facts table that distils essential, verifiable information. This is accompanied by a credited photograph, with attribution provided to the source of the image. These pages are intended as static reference points.

All content on doublebreast is subject to a regular refresh cycle. The news section is updated continuously as new relevant stories are published by the source outlets. The reference pages are reviewed and updated on a scheduled basis to incorporate any significant, consensus shifts in information or the availability of new, relevant imagery. This process ensures the site remains a current and reliable resource for its LatAm audience.
