Featuring new tailored shirt blocks, guidance on adapting menswear patterns for women, and an enhanced CAD section with color illustrations, this edition ensures you stay current with modern sizing and labelling standards. ## Description Since the first edition was published in 1980, Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear has become established as the standard work on this subject and has proved invaluable as both a textbook for students and a reference source for the practising designer. In this fifth edition, the chapter on computer aided design now has full colour illustrations and reflects the growing importance of CAD to the industry and as a part of fashion and design courses. The rest of the book has been updated where necessary: in particular, new blocks for tailored shirts, new details on how to adapt men’s blocks for women’s wear, and a revision of sizing and labelling information. Colour is now used to differentiate the main groups of patterns and with its tried and tested layout with clear text and diagrams, Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear is an essential purchase for students of fashion and design. Review: great book - After spending my time getting my BA in Fashion design i found that i was unable to create patterns only deform them, it presents the the lack of care at Uni. So spent the money to buy this book to help me along it is a bit hard to follow but something that before long will get the hang of. It's a fantastic teacher and allows you to take more control of creating patterns. It's a book worth having as it allows you the understanding of creating a pattern therefore not having to be dependent on buying overpriced pattern pieces that will more then likely be a bad fit. Review: 100% worth getting - Excellent book with many useful and consistent formulas, would recommend it to total beginner though as it might be frustrating in regards to properly drafting the patterns etc. It most definitely elevated my sewing skill in terms of garment construction to a very good level. ## Features - Industry-standard guide for menswear pattern cutting, used by students and professional designers since 1980 - Includes new blocks for tailored shirts and guidance on adapting men’s patterns for women’s wear - Enhanced CAD section with colour illustrations and revised sizing and labelling info ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 14,297 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 35 in Fashion Design 64 in Needlework & Fabrics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 527 Reviews | ## Images ![Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear, 5th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cOONbV+YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great book *by H***D on 13 April 2012* After spending my time getting my BA in Fashion design i found that i was unable to create patterns only deform them, it presents the the lack of care at Uni.
