Ready-made blazers are cut for one set of shoulders, so they pull across the bust, gape at the back of the neck or hang wide at the waist. This women’s custom blazer is cut to your own measurements in Super 120s sharkskin wool, a two-tone weave that shifts from light to dark as you move. You choose the color, the lining and the collar trim, in leather, velvet or plain wool. Before we cut the cloth, we send you a free test blazer to try on at home, and it is yours to keep.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

The Women’s Custom Blazer That Fits Your Shoulders First
A blazer is judged at the shoulders. If the seam sits past your shoulder bone, the jacket looks borrowed. If it sits inside, the sleeve pulls every time you reach for something. Ready-made blazers are cut for one set of shoulders and one bust, which is why so many women own a blazer they only wear open. Alterations can take in a waist or shorten a sleeve, but a shoulder that is wrong stays wrong.
This blazer starts from your measurements. The shoulders, bust, waist and sleeve are cut for you, the front is darted to follow your shape, and a single button at a low stance draws a long, clean line from the lapel to the hip. It closes because it was made to close.
The cloth is Super 120s worsted wool woven as sharkskin: a dark yarn and a light yarn twisted through a fine twill, so the surface changes tone as the light moves across it. From a distance it reads as a solid color. Up close it has depth that a flat gray or black cloth never has. It is the same cloth tailors have used for evening and business suits for generations, and it keeps its crispness through a long day.
The collar is yours to decide. It comes trimmed in black or brown leather, or in black or brown velvet. If you prefer a quiet, all-wool collar, tell us when you order and we will make it plain.
Super 120s sharkskin wool 8 colors Leather, velvet or plain collar Canvas front Free test blazer first Made to your measurements
Free Test Blazer: Settle the Shoulders Before We Cut the Wool
A one-button blazer hides nothing. With only one point of closure, the front has to lie flat from the lapel to the hem, and it only does that when the shoulders and the bust are right. So before we cut your sharkskin, we make the whole blazer in cotton, to your measurements, and send it to you.
Try it on over the kind of top you will wear underneath. Check where the shoulder seam sits, whether the front closes flat, the sleeve length and the hem. Send us your notes and we correct the pattern before the final blazer is cut. The test blazer is yours to keep.
Your test blazer takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you confirm the fit, your final blazer takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
Dark trousers, a fine knit or a silk shell, low heels or loafers. Buttoned, it reads as sharp and serious without the full formality of a suit. For a complete look in the same cloth, the sharkskin work pants are cut to your measurements too.
Open Over Jeans
Dark denim, a plain tee or a black knit, ankle boots. This is where the sharkskin earns its place: in daylight the two-tone weave gives the jacket life that a flat blazer does not have, and the collar trim adds a detail people notice.
For the Evening
Over a black dress or a silk camisole with slim trousers. In black or navy sharkskin with a velvet collar, the blazer moves easily from a late meeting to dinner.
Who This Blazer Is For
The Woman Whose Blazers Never Close Properly
They fit the shoulders and gape at the bust, or fit the bust and swallow the shoulders. You have stopped buttoning jackets altogether. A blazer cut to your measurements closes flat, because the pattern started with your body.
The Woman Who Wants One Blazer That Is Not Black
Your wardrobe already has the basic black blazer. You want one piece with character that still works at the office: a cloth with depth, a collar with a detail, and a fit that makes it the jacket you reach for first.
The Woman With No Tailor Nearby
You looked for a custom blazer and found nobody who cuts for women, or nobody within reach. You measure at home, the test blazer comes to your door, and the fitting happens in your own mirror.

Questions About This Women’s Custom Blazer
Q. How long does a wool blazer last if I wear it to work every week?
A. A well-made worsted wool blazer worn two or three times a week typically lasts ten years or more with basic care. What usually ends a blazer early is a fused front that bubbles after dry cleaning, or a fit that was never right, so it stops being worn. This blazer has a canvas front and ample seam allowances, so it keeps its shape and can be altered if your measurements change.
Q. Which measurements matter most for a women’s custom blazer?
A. Shoulder width matters most, followed by the bust and the waist. The shoulder decides how the whole jacket hangs and cannot be properly corrected later, while the bust and waist decide whether a one-button front closes flat. You enter every measurement on this page, the women’s body measuring guide shows where to take each one, and the free test blazer checks the result on your body.
Q. Does this blazer come in standard sizes?
A. No, every blazer is cut from a new pattern drawn from your own measurements, with no standard sizes. We make a cotton test blazer on that pattern first, you try it on, and your notes go into the pattern before the final blazer is cut. That matters most on a one-button jacket, where there is nothing to hide a front that does not close cleanly.
Q. What is sharkskin wool?
A. Sharkskin is a wool cloth woven in a fine twill from two yarns of different shades, one dark and one light, which gives the surface a subtle two-tone sheen. From a distance it reads as a solid color, and up close it shifts tone as the light moves. It is a classic suiting cloth, smooth to the touch, and it holds a crisp line through a long day.
Q. Where can I buy a custom blazer for women online?
A. Look for a maker who cuts from your own measurements rather than adjusting a standard size, and who lets you check the fit before the final cloth is cut. Without a fitting step, an online custom blazer is still a guess at your shoulders. This blazer is cut to measurements you enter on this page, and a free cotton test blazer is sent to you first so the fit is confirmed at home.
Q. How much does a custom blazer for women cost?
A. This women’s custom blazer is $609, the same price in every color and every collar trim. The price includes a free cotton test blazer that is yours to keep, so the fit is checked before the wool is cut. Prices for custom blazers vary widely with the cloth and the construction, so compare whether a canvas front, hand-finished buttonholes and a fitting step are included.
Q. How should a women’s blazer fit?
A. A women’s blazer should end at your shoulder bone, close flat across the bust without pulling into an X, and follow your waist without gripping it. The sleeve should reach the base of the thumb with your arm relaxed, and the collar should sit against the back of your neck without a gap. If a blazer only looks right when it is open, the bust or shoulders were cut for someone else.
Q. Why does a sharkskin blazer look different indoors and outdoors?
A. A sharkskin blazer changes appearance with the light because its two yarns reflect light differently: under office lighting it reads as a smooth solid, and in daylight the lighter yarn comes forward and the cloth looks brighter and more textured. Few people notice this until they see a photo of themselves outside. Choose the darker colors if you want it to stay quiet everywhere, and the lighter grays and blues if you want the weave to show.
Q. Can I change or leave off the leather collar?
A. Yes, the collar trim is your choice: black leather, brown leather, black velvet or brown velvet, or a plain wool collar if you tell us when you order. The price is the same whichever you choose. Leather gives the jacket an edge, velvet makes it softer and better suited to evenings, and plain wool makes it a quiet classic.
Q. Can I order a custom blazer as a gift?
A. Yes, but because the blazer is cut to her body, the most reliable way is to include her in taking the measurements. The free test blazer then confirms the fit before the final one is made, so small errors are corrected. If it has to be a surprise, write to us before ordering and we will help you plan it.
Q. How long does it take to receive my blazer, and do you ship internationally?
A. Your test blazer takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you confirm the fit, your final blazer takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Both ship worldwide with tracking, and if you need it for a date, order as early as you can.

Women’s Jacket Fit Guide
Choosing the right fit is essential in creating your custom suit jacket. It determines the silhouette and how your test garment will feel before final tailoring.
Slim Fit
Streamlined and tapered for a sleek silhouette. The jacket is closely fitted through the shoulders, chest, and waist, with narrower sleeves and higher armholes.
Best for: A lean frame or those who prefer a sharply tailored, body-contouring look.
Standard Fit
Softly tailored for a balanced, classic silhouette. The jacket offers gentle shaping at the waist with a natural fit through the shoulders and chest. Sleeves are slightly tapered with standard armholes.
Best for: An average build or anyone seeking a versatile, comfortable fit for business or everyday wear.
Relaxed Fit
Designed with extra ease for all-day comfort. The jacket has a looser cut through the shoulders, chest, and waist, with fuller sleeves and lower armholes.
Best for: Those who prioritize comfort or prefer a roomier silhouette, particularly around the waist and shoulders.
Women’s Jacket & Blazer Fit Guide
How a Woman’s Jacket Should Fit
A blazer is the piece that finishes an outfit, and its fit lives or dies at the shoulders and the bust, the two places off-the-rack most often gets wrong. With a custom-made jacket there are no standard sizes: you choose the fit, we cut the shoulders and body to your measurements, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is ever cut. This guide covers the fits we offer and exactly where a jacket should sit.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim Fit
Closely shaped through the waist with a defined, hourglass line and a lean sleeve. The sharpest silhouette, best over lighter layers.
Standard (Classic) Fit
Shaped through the body with a little more ease for comfort and layering. The most versatile and forgiving choice.
Relaxed Fit
A softer, roomier line with a straighter body and easy shoulders, for a contemporary, unstructured look and maximum movement.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Shoulders (the key)
The shoulder seam sits exactly at the edge of your shoulder, with no overhang past the arm and no divot or pulling. This is the single most important line, and the hardest to alter, so we cut it precisely to you and confirm it on the test garment.
Bust & button
When fastened, the jacket closes cleanly with no strain lines radiating from the button and no gap that pulls open across the bust. A women’s jacket is shaped with darts to curve around the bust rather than straining over it.
Waist & length
The jacket draws in at your natural waist for shape, and the hem ends around the top of your hip (longer or shorter is your choice). You should be able to fasten it and still sit down comfortably.
Sleeve & armhole
The sleeve finishes at your wrist bone, so a little shirt cuff can show, and the armhole sits high enough to let you raise your arm without the whole jacket lifting. Both are cut to your measurements.
Every jacket is made to your measurements, in the fit you choose, with the shoulders and bust cut to you. A free test garment confirms the fit before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
My jackets always pull or gape at the bust. Will this finally sit right?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons women come to us. Off-the-rack jackets are cut for an average bust, so they strain at the button or gape open. We shape the jacket with darts and cut it to your real bust measurement, so it closes cleanly with no pulling and no gap, and if the free test garment shows even a hint of strain, we correct it before the final jacket is made. You should never have to safety-pin a blazer again.
I have never bought a jacket I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. We make a free test jacket in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put it on, check the shoulders, bust, waist, and sleeves, and send us your notes and a couple of photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished jacket is a fit you have already approved, not a gamble.
My shoulders are broad, or narrow, and jackets never sit right on them. Can you cut for that?
Yes, and this is exactly where custom-made earns its place. The shoulder is the foundation of a jacket and the hardest area to alter, so we cut it to your exact shoulder measurement, broad, narrow, sloped, or square, and confirm it on the free test garment before the final jacket is made. No more overhang past the arm, and no more pulling.
I am nervous I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to be perfect. Our guide takes you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment is there to catch any small error, we see the jacket on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely fine.
I have always struggled to find a blazer that fits my shape. Is this really for me?
It is made for exactly you. A fuller bust with a small waist, broad or narrow shoulders, a long or short torso, these are the shapes off-the-rack fails, and the ones made to your measurements fits best, because we cut to your proportions rather than an average. There is no wrong shape here, only your measurements.
What if the jacket arrives and something is not quite right?
The final jacket is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished jacket carries seam allowances at the waist and sides so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
It feels like a lot for a single jacket made just for me. What is my safety net?
Nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not paying for a gamble, you are paying for a jacket whose fit you have already confirmed on your own body, and a blazer that truly fits gets worn constantly, so it earns its cost back in wear.
What if my size changes later?
The finished jacket is made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can take it in or let it out at the waist and sides within reason. The shoulders and armholes are cut precisely to you from the start, since those are the areas that cannot easily be changed, and we keep your measurements on record for any future pieces.
