Sartorial Master: Traditional Tailoring Techniques For Gentleman's Wear

Based on the practice and the 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 menswear. Constituting a return to precision in hand-crafted tailoring and a valuable practical guide for fashion students, professionals and fashionistas, it brings together the various aspects of the techniques that have been honed by three family generations 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 make patterns (including different techniques to adapt to the physical characteristics of each client), and how to create a wide range of different classic styles of jackets, waistcoats, trousers and coats.
