The Cutter's Practical Guide, Part 5: Overcoats - Paperback

by W. D. F. Vincent (Author)

We now introduce another instalment of our work - "The Cutters' Practical Guide," in which we endeavour to embody the result of experience, observation and careful study. Our emanations in this Series of works may not be perfect - we do not claim they are, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that they are - all of them - beneficial to very many Cutters, who bear willing testimony to the benefits they derive from their use. We trust this work on Overgarments for all sorts and classes of men may be found equally helpful to those who are treading the same path we have trod. We are earnestly desirous of helping such, by placing in their hands materials which will better fit them for the discharge of the duties devolving upon them in their different spheres. Thus we shall help in some measure to raise the status of our trade. Recent developments in the Art and Science of Cutting have rendered it possible to produce garments correct in fit and excellent in style. This Art has, however, yet to be acquired, and it is our ambition to contribute by this Series of works, a medium by which this noblest of all Arts can be acquired. We trust as we doubt not, that the same success will attend this latest Part, as continues to attend the previous ones.
