Easiest way to put together a tailored jacket.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Easy, Easier, Easiest Tailoring (Paperback)
This book provides the information and different methods to create a tailored jacket. Step by step instructions from the cutting to the assembling, a very interesting book and can be used with any other books on tailoring. This book also shows you how you can have a very expensive looking wardrobe without having to spend too much money.

This review is from: Easy, Easier, Easiest Tailoring (Paperback)
I researched and decided to buy 3 tailoring books to teach myself how to. This was one of them. First time out, I made a knockout tiger striped short blazer with black lapels with an understructure that makes it hang just as perfectly as I planned. It knocked people OUT!Learn to tailor! Dollar for dollar, it's really worth sewing: tailored jackets are a high-priced retail item that totally pays for you to make yourself!
