Does anyone know if seam allowance is included on the neck and armholes in Stanley Hostek's pattern drafts?
Thanks in advance,
Jeffrey
You could assume 7mm.
Thank you sir.
Traditionaly there is no seam allowance in the neck. Front or back. As in mid back , seam and mid front. They are in shoulder, armhole and side seams.
Maybe this old rundschau draft could tell you this.

Thank you pfaff260. This is what I suspected but I am not familiar with this system and did not want to take it for granted. I have a suit order and the client suggested I use this system as they have had many suits made from it in the past. I am guessing that I will figure most of it out in the first fitting.
Neck and center back has no seams.
Jeffrey, please tell us how it went. I'm very curious how the Hostek draft works. I have his books on sewing and they are realy good.
pfaff260,
I will keep you updated.This is a new system for me and hope that I can navigate it easily.
I believe this draft includes 1/4 inch seam allowance everywhere except the neck, front, center back and hems.
I am going give the draft a try this coming weekend so we shall see.
Corrections: I will list them here as I find them.
1) CB has 1/4 inch seam.
Some American systems have 1/4 inch seams, except hems. On the hems (sleeves and bottom of coat) you add on the cloth (not the pattern) the hem (usually two inches) and seam allowances/inlays as needed for the style/fashion desired. There are a number of ways to do sleeve cuffs. The pattern is made plain which leaves other options available.
