How A Blazer Should Fit - Men's Clothing Fit Guide - Sport Coat Sports Jacket

About this video

Weston provides a comprehensive guide on how a blazer should fit properly, covering key areas including collar placement, shoulder seams, arm holes, sleeve length, midsection fit, back curve, button stance, and overall length. She demonstrates each fitting principle with a model and explains how to identify common fit problems and what tailors can or cannot adjust.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that blazer fit should be identical to suit jacket fit, with the collar lying flat against the shirt collar, shoulder seams hitting exactly where shoulders end, and no wrinkling or divots
• Weston recommends sleeve length be tested by bending the wrist with palms down—the blazer sleeve should end a quarter inch above the wrist bend to allow proper shirt cuff visibility
• Weston emphasizes the top button should hit just above the belly button and always be fastened on a two-button blazer, while the bottom button should never be fastened, and blazer length should hit mid-crotch for shorter men or mid-to-lower crotch for taller men
