INTRODUCTION. The foreman tailor is a man of many parts, and has to play them under varied circumstances.

In the present Part I deal with some of those phases which are outside the scope of the preceding Parts.

These necessarily cover a wide area, and the treatment is necessarily brief.

I trust it will be found sufficiently explicit to supply my readers with all the instruction necessary for practical purposes.

The Table of Quantities will prove an excellent guide for the Tailor who works from pattern bunches, the quantities quoted having all been tested and provide for such inlays as are advised on another page, or at any rate for most of them.

The conditions under which garments are made up are undergoing a great change, the present tendency of the times being in the direction of sub-division workshops. I therefore describe how these are worked.

I also describe the leading principles of manipulation as practiced in the best trades.
