What you'll need to measure yourself for a blazer:

  • Fabric tape measure or a piece of string
  • A partner to ensure that the measurement is as accurate as possible

Here is a video demonstration on how to measure your chest size: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zANQQLTvAHk

Chest Measurement Instructions:

  1. Wear something that fits close to the skin - a dress shirt, t-shirt or go bare chested. Wearing a sweater or something thick will artificially increase your measurement and the blazer will be too big.
  2. Have your partner place the tape measure (or string) around your chest at the widest part - generally across the nipples. Ensure the tape measure is parallel to the ground and not uneven around your body
  3. The tape measure should be snug but not tight. It should sit flat against the fabric or skin but not be pulled so tight that it is causing it to dig in.
  4. Record the measurement from the tape - or if using string, mark the string and lay it flat to measure it.

 

Measure your Waist

Here is a video link to show the best practise for waist measurement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhguarh5PsQ

  1. Waist measurement is the smallest circumference around the torso, generally halfway between the ribcage and the belly button.
  2. Have your partner place the tape around the torso at the smallest part, ensuring that it is parallel to the floor. It should be snug but not tight.
  3. Take the measurement and record it.

 

Determine Your Blazer Size - Men
Using the chart below - find your measurement and the corresponding blazer size. For example, a 43" chest measurement would fall between 41.5 - 43.5" and that person would fit a size 42 blazer. If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

 How to choose between a Short / Regular / Tall

Blazer length depends on your height - use your height and the chart below to choose the correct sizing. Fore example, someone how is 5'11" tall would be less than 6'1" and be best fitted by a Regular (R) suit. Someone 6'3" should choose a Tall (T).

 

 

Determine Your Blazer Size - Women

Using the chart below, and your chest and waist measurements, find the best match to your measurements and order the corresponding size. For example, a women with a bust measurement of 90cm and waist of 75cm would fit a size 8.

If in doubt between 2 sizes we recommend choosing the larger of the 2 sizes.
