Book excerpt: In applying the methods from the pattern drafting book “Fundamentals of Men’s Fashion Design” by Masaaki Kawashima this paper addresses the ways that it has shortcomings for models that are above the intended range (34-42) of chest sizes. Through an exploration of pattern drafting for four models outside this range there is an outline of the hypotheses before fitting, demonstration of fitting, and outcomes from the fitting are all. With an emphasis on how creating a safe and inclusive fitting room space can begin with testing and finding successful solutions to consistent failings in an otherwise successful drafting system when it is applied to stout or corpulent figures with chest sizes above 42 inches. With the average chest size in the United States being 44 inches, this drafting system does not accommodate the majority and the conclusions of how to adjust this draft for these is key to alleviating tensions in a fitting room as a result of ill-fitting garments. This study also intends to reduce the amount of time needed in a fitting room by helping future drafts start in a place that is closer to a true fit. By the end of this exploration there are clear areas within the draft that should be checked for each model and strategies for addressing them before an initial fitting

Book excerpt: Clothes maketh the man--discover the fascinating history and evolution of the modern suit from the late 17th century to date. "A fascinating, richly illustrated history of suits." -- Esquire magazine "Few coffee-table books are so beautifully illustrated or as researched." -- GQ magazine For millions of men across the world the common denominator that identifies them is the suit. From eighteenth-century bespoke to the mass industrialization of the 20th-century, we see how the uniform of the ruling classes became the utilitarian outfit of the worker. A series of thematic chapters illustrates how the universal staple of a man's wardrobe can play many different roles and, chameleon-like, can mean different things in different situations. From the Duke of Windsor to The Thin White Duke, David Bowie, from James Brown to "The Godfather," movie stars, rock stars, heroes and villains, philanthropists, presidents, and gangsters have dressed to impress in a matching jacket and trousers, and have found that a suit will suit them very well.

Download or read book The Suit written by Christopher Breward and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully tailored history of this fashion staple—at once a garment of tradition, power, and subversion. The Suit unpicks the story of this most familiar garment, from its emergence in western Europe at the end of the seventeenth century to today. Suit-wearing figures such as the Savile Row gentleman and the Wall Street businessman have long embodied ideas of tradition, masculinity, power, and respectability, but the suit has also been used to disrupt concepts of gender and conformity. Adopted and subverted by women, artists, musicians, and social revolutionaries through the decades—from dandies and Sapeurs to the Zoot Suit and Le Smoking—the suit is also a device for challenging the status quo. For all those interested in the history of menswear, this beautifully illustrated book offers new perspectives on this most mundane, and poetic, product of modern culture.
