A key reference text in most professional theatrical costume shops, Cabrera provides crystal clear detail in text, drawings, and photos, taking you through the entire process of suit production for men. If you are more experienced, especially if you have worked in theatre and film, you may find his process a bit too exacting (on a tight production deadline, many of the traditional handwork steps are frequently done by machine). Still, this text teaches good habits, and illustrates the high ideal standard all tailors should be working toward, when possible.

Great explanation of how to tailor the authentic men's jacket. Excellent descriptions.

One of the top tailoring books recommended by practicing tailors. My library foolishly withdrew it from their collection. :(
