Very worthwhile text to have on hand.
Very good text on the subject. The pants drafts (along with Kawashima's and Aldrich's) are the only ones worth following to achieve a workable result right off the paper. It would be nice if he also had a few alternatives to his basic jacket draft, i.e., a 3-panel and others, but what he has is entirely workable. Sleeve draft is pretty standard, particularly if one is used to the historical approach. The only other tailoring books I use with any regularity are Kawashima's and Mongrandi's (only available from B.Black & Sons), and some out-of-print 19th Century texts.

Not a good book.
Didn't find anything useful in this book. I threw it away.
