Blazer and suit jacket are supposed to be two different things, but here they appear to be treated the same way. General fitting rules still hold true, but conceptually, they are two different items, with the blazer having more room for creativity so to speak. Useful video tho!
my blazer fits perfect except that the sleeves go a little bit over the hands. Am i breaking a big rule now? :) ive been to a tailor but didnt found it worth my money shortening the sleeves
I have an athletic build, and I have lots of problems getting clothes that fit. My chest is 46" and my waist is 32", and my thighs are 27". Can you do a video on options for people like me? Also I have a cafe racer motorcycle, could you show how I can achieve a modern vintage style to go along my beautiful motorcycle. Thanks
I wished you would have used an actual Blazer instead of a suit Jacket. The lines between the two are blurred today and it seems like no one sells an off the rack Blazer that don't look like a suit jacket or sports coat. Please help because I am looking for a Navy Blazer with Gold or Mother of Pearls button that retailers screwed up for this trendy skinny look.
Stevie Velasquez Just get a Navy Blazer. If you have done that go to your tailor and let him sow the buttons on. He may have some. If he doesnt you'll have to order some.
Wrinkling on the shoulders is caused by wearing a jacket that's too narrow in the shoulders. it's got nothing to do with quality. And divots are cause by armholes being too high. If you look at 1950s pictures of gangsters those guys were wearing suits that were 2 sizes too big for them but none of them had divots. A higher armhole is necessary for a slim contemporary fit but if it's too small you get divots. Off the rack suit shopping is really a treasure hunt because you're looking for such a specific fit. There's things like posture of the jacket and proportion too, not just sizing. Hugo Boss jackets just don't fit me, and they are super well made. Happy Hunting.
hello! one question" how should sportive jackets (i mean winter coat, spring coat, short jacket, ecc) fit in the end of sleeves? I f it is not clear let me know and I try to reformulize the question. thanks from italy
what about if the suit i got fits great however the button sits way up higher than my belly button and it thows off my proportion :( can the tailor lower the button and create a new hole? :(
Arm holes on most clothes are bad. Are sport coats any better? I don't think so. Where do you find a good jacket? It is better to have high arm holes and get them lowered because you can't raise arm holes. Anything off the rack is mostly terrible.
Thanks so much for you fit guides! I'd like to try certain Sport Coat/T-Shirt combinations but am unsure, what the Sport Coat's propper sleeve length would be then, since no shirt sleeve will be showing, obviously. Should the Sport Coat hit the top of my hand then, when bending my wrist?
is it okay to have a pull when we button the top button of the blazer of a suit or a sports coat? because that pull gives that V which makes it even more good
Aksshay Sharma as she said. lightly hug. lightly. not like "hugging so hard that she button is going to pop every moment". preferably you want that hour-glass silhouette without button pulling
Ashley, I saw you mention you worked with Kevin Hart, so I hope you can help me. I'm 5'4", 158lb (naturally more muscular upper body, bit of a concentrated gut around midsection), probably about 34 waist 28 length. Can you give me any tips for getting a proper suit? I know shoulders are most important but that's about it. And most I've seen in my size (38S or so seems to feel best) had those low armholes. I just got myself a tailor, but am clueless on how to buy. Please help! Also, if you could make a how to properly measure (and base sizes off that measurement) video, I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks!
Perhaps you can do one on how a sports jacket should fit. It won't be much extra work, I can send you a recording of Morgan Freeman saying, "sports jacket", he sounds super sexy cool. :-)
Hey Ashley! I could use some advice on a quick (if you skip the background info) question (at the bottom). I am a suit novice - one of those guys that didn't realize it's a huge deal how a suit fits and looks, because they are apparently not all the same - and I'm learning from recent research that I've been looking like an idiot in the one suit I own. I just spent an entire weekend driving around trying to find one that fits. 10 stores, 10 salespeople, no luck. Aside from the fact I am not sized/shaped right for suits off the rack and need a lot of tailoring, I evidently also have some messed up shoulders; every jacket I tried on had some degree of divot in them. I don't know if they are too round, too broad, too slender, or what (there's nothing visibly wrong with them, I swear. I thought they were normal), but it looks to me like the padding sticks out beyond where it's supposed to, so the fabric needs to return to my arm, if that makes sense. I tried bigger, smaller, different brands... Some are not as bad as others, but even the expensive ones I couldn't afford had small divots. I know that's the one thing a tailor can't fix, so I'm reluctant to buy one that has a divot, even though I intended to buy because I should wear one for this weekend. Most of the salespeople were unfortunately more into selling than helping, but the few that seemed to have my best interest at heart did acknowledge it was there. One guy even called his co-worker - and then their boss - to come over and see if they could figure it out. They brainstormed and found me some jackets with smaller divots, but nothing like the line I've seen in every photo, video, and illustration, and nothing like the jackets the salesmen were wearing. I read your website thoroughly on the topic, and even sought out that gray J. Crew Ludlow suit, but it did the same thing. I know it was only two days so it seems early to panic, but I did hit a ton of places and got a lot of professional opinions, and none of them led me to a suit that fits by the standards I've learned about. I suppose it might be possible if one was made just for me it could counteract whatever it is about my shoulders that's throwing the suits off, but I'm not the kind of person that should be buying even one custom suit, let alone however many I'm supposed to have. I'm really terrible at seeing things the way most other people see them, so I'm pretty useless at this. I have no idea what matters, which I guess is why the one suit I have is unwearable. Thanks for any advice! TL/DR: My shoulders are apparently unusual and every jacket I've tried on has divots. Should I just accept it and try to minimize the damage so I have a suit even if the shoulders look bad, or not even bother and go without one? Should I buy a custom suit regardless of cost because it's that important to have one and that important it looks good? Thank you!
Another option might be a Suit without any Shoulder Padding. I also went to try on a Blazer today and I did see those divots. Maybe I'll find a quality, good fitting blazer someday. I can't tell you what you should do. Just try sizing down and up to see if the divots disappear or get bigger.
+Ashley Weston Yeah, you told us all about how a jack-Blazer! should fit. I actually purchased a double-breasted blazer today. It fits almost exactly like one of my suit jackets. 😏
Actually, knowing you call sport coats blazers your advice is absolutely wrong. A sport coat should be a bit roomier so you can layer a sweater underneath.
This is great, compared to the suits in Skyfall and Spectre. Jany Temime and Daniel Craig should watch this and get rid of the ugly sausage wrapped look for the suits for the next Bond film.
The dubbing is annoying AF! I'm going to start using the dislike button much more liberally to make sure these videos don't appear in my feed. Unsubscribed.
Occasionally, I have to come back and watch one of your videos. Why? Because your information is timeless
2:09 hehehe that voice editing :D ...older "BLAZER"
damn I was about 20 seconds to the end of the video before I realized those "blazer" sounds are not glitches.
same @4min :DD
Forgot to edit in the word blazer at 3:25
lol

Straight to the point and good information. I had to mention it since it saved me a lot of time reading awful guides.
my blazer fits perfect except that the sleeves go a little bit over the hands. Am i breaking a big rule now? :) ive been to a tailor but didnt found it worth my money shortening the sleeves
ty for the 5'9" and under part!! i am 5'9" and next time i buy a suit, i will keep the length of the jacket in mind :)
🤔 Ashley Weston vids are becoming strangely similar lately... Nevermind they're still the best 😋
❤So, how below should the belly button be in inches or centimeters from the top button???
This video was really wonderful it is factly what I needed. Thank you so much😊
Very helpful thank you. Keep you the great work

this was fucking hilarious
... and informative
Great I for thank you

When you raise your arms horizontal to the ground if arms get shorter and your arms show 3 inches is that normal?
I just subscribed. Your videos are awesome Ashley!
Thanks lady
what about if the suit i got fits great however the button sits way up higher than my belly button and it thows off my proportion :( can the tailor lower the button and create a new hole? :(
Why does every word blazer she says get dubbed over?
fat bo because she was actually saying 'suit', and that's not what the vid is about
It was the same video she made for suits, and then dubbed “blazer” over “suit jacket“ is what I surmise from her cheekiness.
I think your model blinked once! Was he not allowed to? :p
Great videos, please do keep it up =)
Not letting someone blink is torture!
Arm holes on most clothes are bad. Are sport coats any better? I don't think so. Where do you find a good jacket? It is better to have high arm holes and get them lowered because you can't raise arm holes. Anything off the rack is mostly terrible.

Great, thank you for your response!
This video reminds me of another you have done, I'm not sure which one though. If you have, you give us a link to the video :-)
What shirts can I wear a blazer/sports coat with?
Dress shirts
Now I get the intro, after hearing blazer dubbed
is it okay to have a pull when we button the top button of the blazer of a suit or a sports coat?
because that pull gives that V which makes it even more good
Aksshay Sharma
as she said. lightly hug. lightly. not like "hugging so hard that she button is going to pop every moment".
preferably you want that hour-glass silhouette without button pulling
😂 awesome. Thanks!
This is literally the same video as the suit fitting guide with blazer glitches
Lmao I noted that too!
She was being sarcastic in the beginning with the “ back with an exciting new video” bit obviously
I see you have a sense of humor :)
👍Great Job Ashley
divots happen because of the hole not being tailored to the arm
Why the edits?
It's the same old video & you just edited the wordings in it. Hmmm!!
Blazer blazer blazer . Blazer
what if the blazer fits right in the shoulders but too tight around the waist? Besides losing weight, what else can I do to fix that? 😂
Dude...it's ok to blink... :D
You mist once the editing"BLAZER" LOL.
Call Spielberg he's getting ripped off on his special effects
Michael never blinks, creepy
What do you think of Zara or H&M suits?
Ok. Thank you very much.
Almost everything is Synthetic there. I would recommend synthetic suits if you need very rarely. Otherwise no.

sounds like google translate
What is this sound editing 😂
hey dude, blink if you're not a microwave...
oh man
Looks like a suit
Ehhhhh, if that's how you think blazer should fit, then i'll pass,
Annoying. Get to it
Man, she has THE BIGGEST nostrils I've ever seen! And the voice overs are hilarious!
is this a joke video?
Take it down and make a new one for Blazers. This is just awkward not borderline not funny.
Good job
Why u alway bring taller men in to your show
U don’t think shorter men want to wear nice clothes too? :-)
