Page:Vincent's systems of cutting all kinds of tailor-made garments.djvu/11



The object of this work is to provide the student and the experienced cutter alike with a maximum of information in the most concise manner.

A book that shall explicitly describe and practically illustrate every garment they may be required to cut and make in every day experience.

To accomplish this object I have resorted to the use of diagrams freely, believing that more can be conveyed in that way than in pages of descriptive letter press.

Special attention has been given to the details so that our readers may rely upon them with the fullest confidence.

My description of the diagrams is terse and to the point, leaving theorising and debating for other channels, and devoting the pages exclusively to the practical and helpful.

I follow the same course as is usually followed in teaching the student, taking the simpler garments first and advancing to the more complex.

Thus the opening pages are devoted to the treatment of Trousers and Breeches, which are followed by Gaiters, Leggings and Vests.
