Similar to the previous edition, Aug 11 2011
By Bryce Ennis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket (Paperback)
For anybody who's wondering what differences there may be between this edition and the 2005 printing, I can tell you.Things that changed:
- The layout has been rearranged and modernised to make the book look more like contemporary how-to books, because the previous edition has a decidedly 80s/90s feel to it. For example, the fonts have been changed to trendier typefaces.
- Outdated photos of models have been replaced with models wearing modernised versions of the original garments.
- Nearly all the instructional photos are the same photos as in the previous edition, but they have been digitally re-touched to make the colours and lighting more modern.
Things that did not change:
- Although the pages have been reformatted themselves to bring them in line with contemporary how-to books, the contents of those pages are actually on the same pages as in the previous edition.
- The text itself is the SAME, being identical word for word in every section I compared. There may be differences buried deep in the books, but I did not spot them as I flipped through and did quick spot-checks.
In short, it's the same great information as before, but with a modernised presentation to make it more marketable.
And oh yes: it is cheaper, so that's nice.

Good reference and here are some referencs for pattern drafting, April 29 2012
By Robert H. Welton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket (Paperback)
I have a previous edition of this book ("Tailoring", part of the Singer Sewing Reference Library ©1988) and the comparison of this new version with previous editions was helpful. This book (and its older editions as well) is a good reference largely due to the excellent photos to guide your work - the bound button hole section is very clear. Glad it has been updated for newer buyers.In response to Nicole I's interest in book to show how to draft a suit pattern, I can share with you some advice from Kathleen Fasanella that she posted on her very useful and informative Fashion-Incubator blog that for men's patterns she recommends "Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear" by Winifred Aldrich or "Fundamentals of Men's Fashion Design" by Masaada Kawashima. Fasanella also mentions another of her favorites is "Tailoring Suits the Professional Way" by Clarence Poulin, which is out of print that I was lucky to find, is also excellent.
