Well, it seems that my copy of this book has mysteriously disappeared between December and now.
I hate when books go missing!
Anyway, the old cutter and Tailor site has some of the coat drafts, which I should download, and will do so in case the site goes down again.
In the meantime, does anyone have a scan of this book that they would be willing to share with me?
To be honest I mostly used the section on riding breeches and jodhpurs, and would really love a scan of that section.
:(
I have a short section that only deals with the normal figure long pants.
Is this any help?

Ahh yes! Many thanks.
I didn't dig far enough in the old site, obviously.
Does anyone actually have a full scan of the Mitchell System, or only the pages that were in C&T?
I'd also like to get a complete version of that. I've never seen it anywhere.
I am also interested in a copy of that book.

Hi everyone,
I tried using the web archive tool to recover the images but to no avail.
I was wondering if anyone would be kind to share with me their pages on this system?
Many Thanks!
I have a complete scan of the book produced, since I have the original. I wanted to produce reprints but it makes no sense to sell them as I wouldn't make any profit and would have only work with it for nothing. The book is not so important but nice to have as collection. The quality of my scans are spotless, better than the original, when it was sold. I could sell the original in its dilapidated form for 100$ but even for that I have work and no profit, not worth to walk to the post office.
I do not understand your philosophy. If you can sell 3 copies and you take 30 Dollars + matrial + postage costs - you have 90 dollars gained. Now you have nothing - besides not worn out shoes.

Nobody will buy a copy for 50$.
Indians will sell it for $10.00.

That is what I mean. It is not worth to even to put papers in a printer. They can order a copy in Asia somewhere, maybe even in Siberia or Madagascar or Fireland for 5$. Just google for a copy they are available like sand on a shore.
Well, if your verson is of a superior quality, which I imagine it is, that is a selling point.
You could accept payment for a digital copy by paypal.

I would not be so pessimistic. I would gladly buy copies from older Müllersystem books and would be willing to pay a reasonable price. The originals - if you can get them - are so expensive.
But the market is small for those goodies.

I agree with posaune. I would buy some.
It could only be a small thing though, a service to the old profession. Exactly like these forums.

I wonder if it is you are looking for, I accidentally found that I can open this webpage. Do not ask me how could I do that, because I do not remember how I did that. I am excited to have recovered it. But I am also sad that when I read the conversation along that there were errors.........
Here is :

Copy it while it last.
I could reproduce all Muellerbooks and reprint them but it would be still expensive.
Was anyone ever able to get a copy of this book? It seems it's pretty hard to find. I have a handful of pages- trouser draft and few on "designing based on anatomy". I like that the theory is pretty clear and easy to follow.

When you save the web page file, you can extract the photos and assemble into a pdf if you want. Cheers
I am selling the vintage one on eBay right now, I have here. I don't need all those Books I have anymore.
Someone will get it soon or later. Cutting books are pretty expensive now, vintage tailoring tools too. In 2010 those material was cheap in comparison today. You hardly find anything anymore. Maybe that's way, it has become too scarce.

amazing thank you! It looks like the scans stop around page 90?
Thanks for also sharing the link of the tailor. I'd never seen his stuff, but I like the shapes and the fabric selection a lot.

oh nice! Seems like a good price. I just blew my book budget for at least a couple of months, but will keep an eye on it.
I have sold the original ,,The Modern Mitchell System of Men's Designing" in eBay now for 169$.
There was a lucky person, who owns the vintage book in California. I guess he enjoys it in a tailor class and his mates will envy him.
I have one more in mint condition. Will also sell fast.

I just woke up, the mouth watering book is sold in one night. The book was too cheap!
