An essential tool for understanding and applying artisanal techniques to contemporary bespoke tailoring. Based on the practice and teaching experience of a master tailor, this thoroughly detailed book contains the fundamental principles of traditional sartorial garment construction: the art of designing, cutting, fitting, and finishing made-to-measure menswear. Constituting a return to precision in hand-crafted tailoring and a valuable practical guide for fashion students, professionals tailoring lovers and sewing fans, it brings together a wealth of techniques that have been honed by three generations of this family of artisan tailors practicing their craft from 1915 to the present day. This comprehensive treatise includes chapters dedicated to body and garment measurements, how to craft patterns (including different techniques to adapt to the physical characteristics of each client), and how to create a wide range of classic styles of jackets, waistcoats, trousers and coats.
