4.0 out of 5 stars Very little about coats, but excellent jacket information, August 26, 1998
By A Customer
If you're looking to make a jacket or a blazer, this is one book you don't want to miss. It's got more information about fitting, pressing, sizing, facing, and construction than any I've seen before.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have much information on winter coat construction. If you're looking for advice on how to sew duffle or other thick woollens, you won't find it here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jackets, Coats and Suits, December 31, 2000
By Rosa Woods (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews
While this book had some tid-bits about how to copy famous designer's work, it is mainly a advertisement for the designers and other merchants.

I purchased this book to improve my tailoring skills. The small amount of information contained within the book was not worth the purchase price. But, most important it was not worth my time.
