Title: The Tailor & Cutter Trouser Cutting System - A.G. Chaudhry, 1970

This comes from the last published book by The Tailor & Cutter on the subject before it closed shop. The book is Advanced Practical Designing for Men's Clothing, London 1970. The companion draft for lounge jackets and reefers can be found in this thread. Chaudhry was the Chief Pattern Designer for The Tailor & Cutter, and was praised as being "That most English of English Designers".
