Excerpt from Designing Overcoat Patterns for Men and Young Men
In presenting this book to my fellow craftsmen, I have endeavored to put forth a reliable and efficient method of designing overcoats. As publisher and technical editor of The Clothing Designer and Manufacturer, I realized the necessity of such a book.
Of late there have been many new overcoats designed that have found favor with the public, such as the Balmaroon, Split Sleeve Raglan, Mantle, and the Balmacaan. These are somewhat different than the usual run of overcoats.
I have taken a great deal of care to bring forward a simple and scientific method of producing the drafts of these overcoats. I have made every effort to see that the diagrams are easily understood, so that the realer will not be confused. Every diagram is clearly and simply explained.
Designers and cutters should not hesitate to use any of the drafts, as they are thoroughly tested and reliable.
The points involved in the construction of the various diagrams in this book, cover every phase of designing up-to-date overcoats, and the designer or cutter should find just the information he seeks.
