Overview

We take great pleasure in presenting this Work to the trade, confident that it will meet a long-felt need. Although it addresses garments somewhat beyond the usual scope of tailoring practice, they nevertheless form a legitimate, and indeed essential, part of it. There is no more reason to decline orders for such garments simply because certain firms have chosen to specialize in them than there would be in refusing to make a pair of breeches or any other item that naturally belongs within the tailor's craft. It is the duty of every progressive house to embrace those branches which, though sometimes neglected, are vital to the completeness of a craftsman's repertoire. As regards the Work itself, the systems, instructions, and details of execution, we submit with confidence that they will be found both reliable and of genuine practical service. They are not the product of theory or speculation, but rather of one who has gained wide and varied experience in this particular branch of the trade and is therefore well qualified to speak with authority. Both the diagrams and the accompanying text have been prepared with the greatest care, uniting clarity with refinement. Every line has been drawn with precision, and every explanation phrased with utmost attention, so that the student may proceed with confidence and the experienced practitioner may find their skill further enriched. No effort has been spared to make this Work worthy of its title: a genuine Guide to Shirt Cutting - not merely a compilation of rules, but a practical manual filled with hints and suggestions of lasting value to both learner and expert.
