And The Why Full Size Plaid Brushed One Button Blazer

How to measure

For best sizing, measure a blazer you already own that fits the way you want, laid flat, then compare to the size chart. All garment measurements listed below are taken with the blazer buttoned where indicated and laid flat — double the flat measurement to get the full circumference.

Measuring the blazer (lay flat)

1. Chest / Bust (garment): Measure straight across the front 1" (2–3 cm) below the armhole from seam to seam. Multiply that number by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (outer edge) down to the end of the cuff along the outside of the sleeve.
4. Back length: Measure from the center back at the base of the collar (nape) straight down to the hem.
5. Front length: Measure from the top of the shoulder adjacent to the collar down the front to the hem (useful for one‑button blazers to check lapel/waist placement).
6. Waist (garment): Measure across the blazer at the narrowest point (usually just below the waistline seam) and multiply by 2.
7. Hem / Bottom width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and multiply by 2 for the full circumference.

Measuring your body (to choose size)

1. Bust / Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keep tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally.
2. Waist: Measure around the natural waist (the narrowest part of your torso), tape snug but not tight.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips (about 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist for most people).
4. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other across the back.
5. Sleeve length: With arm relaxed, measure from the shoulder point (where a shoulder seam would sit) down to the wrist.

Conversions & tips: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Always compare your flat-garment measurements (doubled where noted) to the retailer size chart. If you plan to layer sweaters beneath the blazer, allow about 2–4 cm (¾–1½") extra in the chest and shoulders.

Materials

Typical construction for a brushed plaid one‑button blazer (actual composition may vary — check the product label for exact details):

• Outer fabric: Brushed blend — commonly a polyester/viscose (rayon) blend with a small percent of elastane for comfort and recovery (example: 65% polyester / 30% viscose / 5% elastane). The brushing process raises the fibers for a softer hand and subtle texture.
• Lining: Smooth polyester lining (often 100% polyester) for easy layering and durability.
• Interfacing & padings: Polyester or cotton‑blend interfacing in the collar, front panels and sleeve heads for structure.
• Trims: Resin or horn‑effect buttons and polyester thread.

Note: The brushed finish gives warmth and a slightly raised nap — avoid high-heat care that can crush the texture.

Model & Fit

Reference fit to help you gauge sizing:

• Reference model (example): Height 5'9" (175 cm); bust 34" (86 cm); waist 25" (64 cm); hips 35" (89 cm); wearing size Small (S).
• Fit notes: This is a "full size" cut with a slightly roomier silhouette through the body. One‑button closure creates a gently tailored waist. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; if you plan to layer bulky knitwear, size up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Dry clean recommended. Most structured blazers, especially lined or brushed fabrics, keep their shape longest with professional dry cleaning.
• Spot clean small stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent; dab gently and avoid vigorous rubbing that can flatten the nap.
• Steam, don’t iron directly. Use a steamer to remove wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side to protect the brushed surface.
• Never tumble dry. Hang to dry on a wide, shaped hanger to preserve shoulder structure.
• Brush & lint removal: Use a soft clothes brush or lint roller to remove surface pills and lint; brush in the direction of the nap.
• Storage: Store on a padded or wide wooden hanger in a breathable garment bag. Avoid cramped closets to prevent creasing.
• Minor repairs: Replace loose buttons promptly and re‑stitch small seams to extend life.

Style Tips

• Casual weekend: Throw the blazer over a white tee and slim dark denim, add ankle boots or clean white sneakers for an elevated casual look.
• Office ready: Pair with coordinating tailored trousers or a pencil skirt, a silk or cotton blouse, and loafers or pumps. Keep accessories minimal to let the plaid read polished.
• Smart layered look: Wear over a lightweight roll‑neck sweater and straight trousers in a complementary solid color (navy, camel, cream or black) for autumn/winter layering.
• Evening edge: Drape over a slip dress or tailored jumpsuit, add heeled booties and statement earrings for a modern evening outfit.
• Define the waist: Add a slim leather belt over the blazer to create a cinched silhouette — works especially well with longer blazer lengths.
• Mixing patterns: Keep other patterns minimal; if mixing prints, choose a small-scale pattern (e.g., thin stripes) in the same tonal family to avoid clashing.
• Color pairing: Plaid often reads as a mix of neutrals — complement it with solids in navy, black, white, camel, or denim to keep the look cohesive.
