Women

Jackets and blazers tailored for women

Women's custom jackets and blazers tailored in Officer: classic, cropped, double-breasted and occasion jackets cut to your measurements for Melbourne's south east.

A tailored jacket is the piece people notice first, and it is the one most worth making properly. HMN tailors women's jackets and blazers to your measurements: single and double-breasted, cropped and longline, collarless and peak-lapel, in wool, tweed, linen, velvet and silk blends.

The shoulder is built to your line, the waist is shaped where you want it, and the sleeve length is set to your arm, not to a size. Linings, buttons and pocket styles are chosen with you. We can also tailor jackets you already own, slimming the body, shortening sleeves and reshaping shoulders.

Clients from Officer, Berwick, Narre Warren and across Melbourne's south east come to us for jackets that finish an outfit for work, an event or a wedding. Bring a picture of the shape you like and we will quote the make and suggest the cloth.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked

How many fittings does a custom jacket need?

Two fittings is usual: one at the basted stage to set the shoulder and balance, one near the end for sleeve length and buttons.

Can you make a jacket to match existing pants or a skirt?

Yes. Bring the piece and we will match the cloth as closely as possible or choose a complementary one.

How long does a custom jacket take?

Five to eight weeks depending on the cloth and the number of fittings.

Do you tailor jackets I already own?

Yes. Shoulder, sleeve, body and length adjustments on existing jackets are regular studio work.
