How it's used
This term is specifically used in the context of tailoring and fashion to describe the front closure of a jacket or coat. It contrasts directly with 雙襟, which refers to double-breasted styles. While it is a technical term for clothing, it is commonly used by sales staff and tailors in Hong Kong shops.
