Blazer size equals chest circumference in inches, measured at the fullest point under the arms, so a 40-inch chest fits a size 40 (101 cm). Choose length by height: short for 5’3″–5’7″, regular for 5’8″–5’11”, long for 6’0″+, and size up if between sizes.
This guide has a men’s blazer size chart, a women’s blazer size chart, measuring steps, size conversions and fit checks.

How To Measure Blazer Size

Step-by-Step Body Measurements
Follow these steps to measure your blazer size at home:
- Chest or bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part, just under your arms. Keep it flat across your back.
- Waist: Measure where you wear your trousers. Keep the tape loose.
- Hip (women): Measure the widest part of your hips.
- Height: Stand straight against a wall, without shoes.
- Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder edge to your wrist bone.
Measuring Tips for Accuracy
- Stand relaxed, with your arms down.
- Don’t pull the tape tight.
- Measure twice.
- Between two sizes? Go up. SkillsUSA gives the same advice.
