As a member of a sports club, you need to look sharp on and off the field. That is why ordering a bespoke blazer is an excellent choice as it ensures a perfectly fitted garment in a unique design. Taking into account that not everyone is familiar with the process, we have created this guide to help you order your bespoke club blazers. To keep it simple, we will be discussing the two most important aspects of the process, i.e., design and size. So, let's get started.

Design

// Style & Fabric

The style you choose for your club blazer should align with your club's values and image. A classic style with notch lapels is a timeless option, while a more contemporary design with peak lapels can provide a modern touch. Single-breasted styles are more versatile and often preferred, whereas double-breasted styles are more formal. Ultimately, the style you choose should be comfortable and practical, while also representing your club's personality.

The type of fabric for your club blazer will depend on your club's brand and style. A solid color fabric is often used to align with your club's brand colors, while a striped design may provide a more classic look. Consider the weight and durability of the fabric, as the blazer will be worn for years to come.

// Customizations & Details

To make your club blazer unique, consider adding personalized details that represent your club. Bespoke embroidery with your club's emblem or name is a great option to give your blazer a professional touch. You can also add decorative touches such as printed linings or piping on the edges. These custom details will help your club blazer stand out and create a lasting impression.

The type of pockets and buttons may seem like small details, but they can make a big difference in the overall look of your club blazer. For a classic look, opt for flap pockets, or if you want a more contemporary feel, consider patch pockets and metal buttons. Whatever you choose, make sure it is practical and functional for the intended use of the blazer.

Designing a club blazer can be overwhelming, but don't worry, we have expert designers on hand to help you with the process. They can guide you through each step, from choosing the right fabric to customizing the details. With their help, you can ensure that your club blazer is both practical and stylish.

Size

The right size of your bespoke blazer is critical for comfort and appearance. It must be something that each member of your sports club feels confident wearing, regardless of their age, height, or weight.

// Fits

At CLIFTON, we believe that every individual is unique and has their own preference when it comes to blazer fit. That is why, we offer a range of men's and women's blazer fit and label sizes to cater to different body types:

1. Slim Fit - The slim fit blazer is perfect for team members who prefer a slimmer cut through the chest and waist with tapered sleeves for a trim fit. This fit is ideal for individuals with a lean and athletic body type. It offers a modern and sleek look that is perfect for sports clubs that want to exude a contemporary and stylish vibe. When choosing a slim fit blazer, make sure to check the measurements to ensure a perfect fit.

2. Classic Fit - The classic fit blazer offers a tailored cut through the chest and waist for a stylish but traditional fit. This fit is perfect for sports clubs that want a more formal and sophisticated look. The classic fit blazer is ideal for individuals with a regular body type and offers a comfortable and relaxed fit. When choosing a classic fit blazer, make sure to choose a label size that matches your chest and waist measurements.

3. Mighty Fit - The mighty fit blazer is generously cut through the chest and waist with fuller sleeves and legs for effortless wear. This fit is perfect for team members who prefer a roomier fit that offers freedom of movement. The mighty fit blazer is ideal for individuals with a larger body type and offers a comfortable and relaxed fit. When choosing a mighty fit blazer, make sure to choose a label size that matches your chest and waist measurements.

If our standard blazer sizes don't meet your needs, we're happy to offer bespoke sizing for an additional fee. Our master tailors will craft a blazer specifically tailored to your exact measurements.

// Label Sizes

Selecting the ideal label size for your blazer is the next step after finding the right fit. Our blazers come with various label sizes, designed to fit our slim, classic, and mighty fit options perfectly. To guarantee an accurate fit, we provide you with actual dimensions for each size, including chest, waist, hem, and shoulder measurements. Although we also offer standard arm and back length measurements, it's best to double-check and provide your own measurements for these areas.

These measurements are the exact ones used to create your blazer. We encourage you to compare these actual measurements with those of a blazer you currently own. It's important to note that you should refrain from pulling the tape measure too tightly, as a skin-tight measurement will result in a poorly fitting blazer. When in doubt, we suggest sizing up for the perfect fit.

At CLIFTON, we know that the combination of snappy design and perfect fit can make all the difference in achieving a cohesive and confident team look. That's why we want to address the topic of off-the-shelf blazers versus bespoke blazers. While off-the-shelf options may seem like a cheaper and easier choice, they lack the unique design options and personalized fit of bespoke blazers.

Our custom-made blazers ensure that every team member feels comfortable and confident, while also offering a level of design customization that cannot be matched by off-the-shelf alternatives.
