Excerpt from A Scientific Guide to Practical Cutting, Vol. 1: Every Style of Garment to Fit the Human Form
Our advice is never to measure over a sack coat if it can be avoided; the sack coat requiring greater length of back from the bottom of sye up, would be very likely to show that extra length in the measure, and when applied to another coat cut through the waist, would produce too much length of back; and if applied to a sack coat, the extra allowance should not be given in the draft.
