How to Plan a Size Mix for Wholesale Blazer Orders
Quick Take: A reliable wholesale blazer size mix starts with your own sales by size, not a universal size curve. Build a small test order around the sizes your customers actually buy, check live availability by color and fit, then adjust reorders using sell-through and stockout data. This guide gives menswear retailers a practical way to turn size demand into a purchase order without overloading the wrong end of the range.
What is a wholesale blazer size mix?
A size mix is the number of units you buy in each labeled size for a specific blazer style and color. It is different from the size range: a style may be offered from 36 to 48, while your order may concentrate on a smaller group of sizes. Keep the mix separate for each fit and colorway rather than assuming every blazer needs the same curve. Browse the wholesale men's blazer collection to compare styles before setting a size plan.
How do you calculate a starting blazer size curve?
Pull recent blazer sales by size, including returns and exchanges. Where possible, separate slim fit from regular fit and core navy or black from seasonal statement pieces. Divide units sold in each size by total units sold in the comparable group, then multiply those shares by your planned order quantity. Round to whole units and check that the sum still equals your order total. For a core dark style, inspect the available sizes of the black double-breasted slim-fit blazer before applying your curve.
Illustrative 24-unit test order, not a Wessi sales forecast: size 36: 2; 38: 4; 40: 6; 42: 6; 44: 4; 46: 2. Replace this example with your own customer demand. If a requested size is unavailable, do not silently substitute a neighboring size; review the style, color, order quantity or replenishment plan instead.
Which data should change the mix before you reorder?
Compare sell-through by size only over periods when each size was actually available. A size that sold out early may look smaller in raw sales than its real demand. Review returns for fit, customer requests for missing sizes and how quickly each size sold after launch. For first-time orders with no history, keep the test modest, record requests and revise after real sales arrive. Compare the listed sizes on the striped grey double-breasted blazer when you need to evaluate a broader range.
Should core and statement blazers use the same depth?
Not automatically. A repeatable core color can justify deeper replenishment in proven sizes, while a striped or occasion-led style is better tested before committing broadly. For example, compare a navy striped blazer with a more expressive green wide-lapel blazer when planning different test depths. The size curve also changes with your audience: a boutique serving event customers may not mirror a corporate menswear account. Check each product's size options and stock before finalizing a purchase order.
Which Wessi blazers can help you compare size availability?
These catalog examples had at least 20 units of total product inventory when checked for this article. Inventory varies by size and can change, so open each product to check the sizes you need before ordering.

Treat the first order as a measurement, not a permanent formula. Record units ordered, units sold, returns and missed requests by size, fit and color. Use that evidence to deepen the sizes that genuinely move and trim those that linger. Wessi Wholesale offers a range of blazer styles for retailers building that more deliberate assortment, from core dark options to expressive striped pieces.
