Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the art of tailoring, offering a comprehensive guide to cutting and fitting garments for men. The author, writing in the late 19th century, provides a detailed system for measuring and drafting patterns based on the specific measurements of the individual wearer. This approach was revolutionary for its time, as it moved away from the standard sizing prevalent in the era. The book is not merely a technical manual, however, but also offers insights into the aesthetic considerations that informed the tailoring craft. The author emphasizes the importance of balancing the back skirt, tailoring for different body types, and crafting the perfect sleeve. Ultimately, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of tailoring as a craft and showcases the author's expertise in this field, contributing valuable knowledge to the history of fashion and design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
