This book contains a vintage guide to making clothes for men, with information on tools, materials, different styles, fitting, cutting, and much more. With step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations, this volume is ideal for the novice tailor, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: Trouser Cutting, Corpulent Draft. Diagram 2, Style Details and Top Finishes, Riding Breeches, Cutting of Overgarments, Cutting for Corpulent Figures, Variations from Normal Draft, Motor Liveries, How to Make Trousers, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dressmaking and tailoring.
