I have just received my digitally scanned copy of this book:
DER ZUSCHNITT für die Herrenschneiderei, 17th edition, 1965, 334pp.

Because so many have you have shared your valuable time and knowledge with me and everyone else I'm returning the favour in kind to all Bespoke Cutter and Tailor folks. You must be a member, though.

Please just PM me here and include your E-mail address if you would like me to send you a copy of the book. It is fully scanned OCR, so you can literally just translate it into any language that suits you.

Quote from: TTailor on February 06, 2025, 11:04:45 PMThere are two editions. I have a photocopy of one that I got in 1988 and a later edition. I doubt the sleeve section is very different.
I have the later edition at work and I will try to scan that one for you.
The earlier copy is packed away at the moment.

Is there a way you could scan the entire book for people like myself who dont own the book ?

Quote from: Dunc on February 06, 2025, 10:48:34 PMThanks Peter, that's a really helpful description. I tried an approach something like this when I was trying to invent my own shirt drafting system, but never really got very far with it.

As for how to measure it... Has anybody thought of setting up a laser level at say chest or waist height? You wouldn't need to worry about whether your reference line was actually horizontal.

Yes, saw it in use for taking measurements for corporate wear some years ago. Also vertically in profile; very handy to indicate posture of a person, especially with shoes on and off...

Cheerio, Hendrick
