The Cutter's Practical Guide, Part 9 - Lounges, Reefers, Norfolk, Sporting & Patrol Jackets

This work is devoted to the cutting of all kinds of Lounge Jackets by the Cutter's Practical Guide System, and contains the result of much research, experiment and experience. The simplicity and reliability of the C.P.G. System are admitted on all hands, and are being practised in thousands of cutting rooms with success, so that we have every confidence that it will prove equally successful in the hands of those who purchase this volume. Lounges have undergone considerable changes during the last few years, and the diagrams in this work are thoroughly up-to-date; but whilst they portray the latest styles, they give equal attention to the ordinary patterns, and those special styles which only meet with an occasional demand, so that the whole subject of Lounges is treated in a comprehensive manner. We also note that every phase of disproportion has been fully described, so that we have every confidence that this work will prove a worthy successor to the many C.P.G. parts that have been published by us, and which have proved so helpful to the trade. The method of treating the various styles has been concise and to the point, allowing the description of the system to appear on the same page as the diagram. We have omitted illustrations of style in nearly every case from the pages, inasmuch as they would interfere with the above plan; but we have supplemented the work by a series of fashion figures, which will serve as a useful guide to stylers for all garments of the Lounge class.
