This book contains a vintage guide to making clothes for men, with information on tools, materials, different styles, fitting, cutting, and much more. With step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations, this volume is ideal for the novice tailor, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Trouser Cutting”, “Corpulent Draft. Diagram 2”, “Style Details and Top Finishes”, “Riding Breeches, “Cutting of Overgarments”, “Cutting for Corpulent Figures”, “Variations from Normal Draft”, “Motor Liveries”, “How to Make Trousers”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

This compendium of how to sew men's clothes is extensively illustrated with black and white drawings and diagrams. This book contains classic material dating back to the 1900s and before. The content has been carefully selected for its interest and relevance to a modern audience.
