Hello,

I am using the MTOC as found here: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.461011/page/n260/mode/2up
to draft a greatcoat and can't quite figure out if there are any seams included in the draft and what size.

Thank you

I think I found on p201 that all the drafts have a quarter of an inch unless stated otherwise. Sorry to waste everyone's time.

I don't think you have Wasted anyone's time  ;)
Glad you found the 'detail' you were looking for.

Back is most likely sewn in the marks. Be sure to add all the inlays where they belong, and perhaps a few more. The pattern guess might be off for the customer at hand. Inlays help with properly placing the seams where they belong.

Mostly MTOC already had 1/4 inch seam included, except for the centre back seam. You need to check the across back part describtion for the draft, see if it is across back measurement plus 1/4 or 1/2
