## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good resource for period menswear
*by D***. on October 8, 2010*

There are so few books with patterns for menswear, and most of those are flawed. I'm sure I will find flaws with this book as well, but my first impression is extremely favorable. I purchased this book after several frustrated attempts to draft a well-fitting Regency dress coat. When the book arrived, I immediately started drafting the 1830 dress coat in the book. My model was very similar in measurements to the scale in the book, so I drafted without changing many of the given measurements. The directions for drafting were clear and easy to follow. The end result fit like a glove. By far the simplest and best looking coat I have drafted.That said, this book is NOT for beginners. You need to understand sewing, tailoring, fitting, patterning, and what shapes you need for a period silhouette. As well, I expect that there may be trouble with the first draft of any garment intended for a man whose physique deviates from the norm. The book gives very limited information about what goes in to a tailored coat. The end user needs to have a fair amount of experience in order to translate the pattern to a good-looking finished garment, but the patterns themselves seem like a good starting point.Looking through the other patterns in the book, I am excited to have access to such a wide range of menswear, and anticipate that I will reach for this book first when working on men's costuming.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful book, a good addition to any menswear costumer's bookshelf
*by A***N on August 14, 2013*

I found this book to be very helpful, as historical menswear can be very challenging and there are few resources to help the amateur costumer. I am a moderately advanced seamstress with next to no tailoring experience, and I found this book very useful. It provides instructions for drafting patterns with period shapes, from custom measurements. I just measured up my husband and drew my pattern as instructed based on those measurements. I found that my first mock-up required very few alterations (mostly just tweaks for my husband's specific body type) and was able to move on to the final garment after one toile.I have only drafted one coat so far: the first tailcoat, c. 1830. I found it to be relatively authentic (most of my research was concentrated about 15-20 years earlier, so I can't say I thoroughly understand this period, but it seemed appropriate from my cursory understanding of the fashions of the year.)I would definitely recommend this, and I look forward to drafting more of the patterns in this book.Note: There is very little sewing instruction in this book - it is mostly for drafting the pattern only. There are a few notes on how to interline/line the coats, which are very helpful, but other than that you are on your own. But that's not so bad, if you just try putting the pieces together and everything should make sense.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book! So many easy to use patterns and styles.
*by J***R on July 21, 2014*

Surprisingly detailed and easy-to-use patterns for many variations of each garment type. There isn't a whole lot of sewing advice, so it's not for the beginner or newer novice, but the patterns are easy to work with, simple to scale, and give you dozens of beautiful options for each jacket, vest, pant, cloak, and coat.If you've got any experience making suit coats, blazers, or jackets, you will understand this book immediately. If you do not have the experience, I suggest pairing this book with a free youtube video that shows each step of assembling a fitted jacket, including sleeve vents, notched collar, and how to line the whole mess. It's a little over an hour long, but you will be very glad to see the steps (and have them explained). The video is titled FD 62 Patternmaking ii, lesson 3.Happy beautiful jacket making!
