How a Stag Jacket works
Every Stag Jacket starts as a real thrifted Goodwill blazer. We paint it, patch it, or mix both until it is obviously the groom's jacket. Every one is one of one, so fabric, cut, and color vary.
- The Boy, $249. The custom groom jacket.
- The Man, $449. The jacket plus matching coozies for the crew.
- The Stag, $749. The jacket, coozies, and t-shirts for the boys.
US shipping to a street address is included in those prices. Lead time is 21 business days after payment. Final sale except manufacturing defect.

How far in advance should you plan a bachelor party?
Two to three months is comfortable for a weekend away, since lodging and flights fill up. A local one night plan can come together in a few weeks. Anything custom, like a groom jacket, needs its own lead time.
Who plans the bachelor party?
Usually the best man, with help from the groomsmen. The groom should get a say on the date, the guest list, and anything he would hate, then step back.
Who pays for the bachelor party?
A common approach is that the guests split the costs and cover the groom's share. Agree on a per person budget early so nobody gets surprised.
When should we order a custom groom jacket?
Stag Jacket needs at least 21 business days of lead after payment. Use the calculator on this page to find the latest day to order for your party date.
How do we get the groom's jacket size without asking him?
Check a suit or blazer he already owns, or ask his partner. A Stag Jacket is a thrifted blazer, so fit varies by piece.
How much does a Stag Jacket cost?
The Boy is $249 for the jacket only. The Man is $449 and adds coozies for the crew. The Stag is $749 and adds coozies and t-shirts for the boys. US shipping is included in those prices.
