glad to hear (and see) that the 38 is perfect on you...and don't worry about any minor creasing when buttoned. most of the time, I see women wearing it open anyways. welcome to the world of balmain fitted blazers. soon you'll be wanting to clear out more room in your wardrobe for another one. :smile:

I already want one in each color! Now I need navy, white and a nude/blush color. I was done for the moment I tried it on :graucho: It’s unlike any other blazer.

Hey guys, I just bought a Balmain wool Blazer in size 34. The other option was 36 in wool/polyester blend. The site didn’t have measurements so I’m really hoping that it’ll fit. Just wondering if anyone with my measurements could let me know what size they wear! I’m 158cm tall, 84cm/33inch bust, 68cm/25inch waist. I live in Australia and it’s really hard to get one in store to try on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can still change it!

Hi All,

I am very interested in getting a blazer and I’ve been going back and forth for days about getting a size 38 or 40.

My shoulders are 16 inches, bust 34, waist 28 and hip about 35. I am usually a size US6.

My concern is that the 38 might not fit my shoulders and arms because my shoulders are somewhat broad and my arms a bit chunky. However, I’m worried that a 40 might be too big around the chest and waist.

The blazer I am looking is a double breasted fitted blazer. It is 100% wool (outer composition), 48% cotton and 52% viscose. I know materials can fit differently.

I can’t get both sizes due to the return policy. I also can’t go to the store to try out due to the health crisis and I want to avoid tailoring in the future. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your suggestion. Do you have any mod pics of the 40 and what material is your blazer?

I think the 40 would work. So, I just ordered the blazer in that same blend in the 40. It was too tight on me in the arms and the waist. I am more like a US8, though. I returned it and decided to get the 100% cotton one in a 42. Oh what a difference! The size is much better and the material is waaay more comfy than the wool blend. Here is a pic of the new one for reference (I don't have mod shots yet because it just came today and I am a hot mess).
