Since the first edition was published in 1980 Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear has become
established as the standard work on this subject and has proved invaluable as both a textbook
for students and a reference source for the practising designer. In this fifth edition the
chapter on computer aided design now has full colour illustrations and reflects the growing
importance of CAD to the industry and as a part of fashion and design courses. The rest of the
book has been updated where necessary: in particular new blocks for tailored shirts new
details on how to adapt men's blocks for women's wear and a revision of sizing and labelling
information. Colour is now used to differentiate the main groups of patterns and with its tried
and tested layout with clear text and diagrams Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear is an
essential purchase for students of fashion and design.
