Standard Measurement Guide for Custom Team Apparel

By Club Blazers Editorial5 September 2025

Four numbers, one tape measure, zero stress. The friendly, plain-English measurement guide for ordering custom team blazers that actually fit.

Here's the good news: you do not need to be a tailor to measure someone for a custom team blazer. You need a soft tape measure, a willing volunteer, and roughly four minutes. That's it. This guide walks you through the standard measurements that power every Club Blazers order, whether it's a single bespoke piece or a group order for the whole squad.

Why measurements matter

A custom blazer is only as good as its fit. Get the measurements right and your blazer feels like it was made for you — because it was. Get them wrong and… well, let's just say there's a reason 'sleeves too long' is a cliché. The fix is simple: measure once, measure honestly, and let our standard size guide do the heavy lifting if you'd rather not break out the tape.

The four numbers you need

For a standard fit, you're capturing four measurements. Have the person stand relaxed, arms at their sides, in a shirt they'd actually wear under the blazer.

  • Chest — around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
  • Sleeve — from the shoulder seam down to the wrist bone, arm slightly bent.
  • Body length — from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the natural hem line.
  • Shoulder — across the back, from one shoulder seam to the other.

That's the set. Pop those into the Bespoke Studio at the measurements step and you're away.

Standard vs custom — which is right?

If most of your team fits neatly into S–XL, standard sizing keeps ordering fast and affordable — ideal for big group orders. If you've got members who fall outside standard ranges (and every club has a couple), switch that person to custom measurements in the same order. Our studio handles both in one flow, so no one's left wearing a blazer that fits like a tent.
