Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide for tailors on the art and science of cutting garments. Written for a professional audience, it delves into the principles of tailoring as they were understood in the 19th century. The author, himself a practical tailor, emphasizes the importance of precise measurements and a deep understanding of the human form. He argues that while there are many so-called "systems" for tailoring, the true key to creating a well-fitting garment lies in a mastery of anatomical principles. The book meticulously describes the process of taking measurements, using a measuring square and an inch tape, and then translates these measurements into drafting patterns for various types of coats, jackets, and overcoats. The author uses detailed diagrams and explanations to illuminate his method, and even addresses common challenges such as fitting customers with unusual body shapes. By providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the principles of tailoring, this book empowers tailors to create garments that fit perfectly and enhance the wearer's appearance.
