The Pulpit Commentary on Exodus 28:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The breast-plate. As the khoshen was to be worn upon the breast (Exodus 28:29), this name is appropriate; but it is not a translation of khoshen. Of judgment. See the introductory paragraph to this section.

Kalisch translates "the breast-plate of decision." It was to be made, so far as its main fabric was concerned, of exactly the same materials as the ephod. See Exodus 28:6.
