Guide To Tailoring

This is a reproduction of an excellent, comprehensive guide to tailoring and mending men's trousers, vests and coats. Originally published by The Master Designer in 1935.

It beautifully illustrates the methods and techniques used for tailors in the 1930's.
Maybe a little out of date now but still beautiful to learn and look at!

Some more vintage images we saw and fell in love with! 

The double-breasted black or midnight-blue jackets were the norm for warm-weather black tie by the mid 1930s.

Color exploded into warm-weather formal wear around 1933 mirroring a consecutive trend in summer attire in general.  Said Apparel Arts in the summer of that year:  

Blue was the second most popular color of the period, appearing in the same accessories including cornflower boutonnieres.  Dark green was a distant third.   

In 1935 summer evening color cautiously graduated from the dinner jacket’s accessories to the jacket itself in a tan hue called “Burma”.  Along with occasional appearances of an equally understated grey tone or off-white silks, this remained the primarily alternative to white throughout the 1930s and ‘40s.
