Author’s Preface.
In this second part of my work I have described my method of cutting all kinds of Jackets and Coats. I have first of all dealt with the qualifications necessary to succeed in the cutting room. I have illustrated the art of measuring, and have then proceeded to show how to draft out the patterns to the measures taken, so that an accurate fit may be produced for all sizes and shapes. I have illustrated and described the special features of cut and finish of all kinds of Jackets and Coats, so that with this book to refer to the cutter will be equal to all occasions.
The system described is of proved worth; it has been adopted by the Military authorities as the best for Master Tailors to study, and it is in use in thousands of cutting rooms in all parts of the world, from the highest class tailors in the West End to the Wholesale Clothing Works in different parts of the country.
