Item description from seller

Paperback. The importance and necessity of just such a work as this on Economy in Cutting has found ample proof in the disposal of the First Edition in less than one month, in a Second Edition being again exhausted, and in our now being called upon to introduce a Third. Such a work is bound to be popular, its advantages come so closely home to every cutter, and we are pleased to record that the efforts of both Author and Publisher have been so fully appreciated. From no other publishing firm has emanated so many works relating to cutting, fitting, and practical tailoring, and so much is the time and attention of cutters devoted to these features of their profession, that the matter of Economy in Cutting is, in many cases, perhaps, comparatively a secondary consideration. Tis true, that in the cutting of a garment, saving a quarter of material is of small importance when compared with its good or bad fit. But where, from experience, or the use of our Tailor and Cutter Reliable Model and Special Patterns, the fit may be pretty well assured, even a quarter of material on each coat cut would very soon bulk to a tolerably large amount. At the present time, when competition runs so high and prices must be cut so fine, it became forcibly impressed upon us that a work might very advantageously be entirely devoted to ECONOMY IN CUTTING. We had little difficulty in selecting an author of thorough practical experience for this work: Mr. Falconer, having devoted special attention to the matter of Economy. The completeness with which Mr. Falconer has done his work, will be found in the fact of its containing no less than thirty-six Plates illustrating different lays, ranging from one to four garments on each lay or illustration. The Tables describe the Plates; giving the garment or garments, their sizes, and the quantities of material from which they can very comfortably be cut. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
