Edited by the world's leading authorities on historical tailoring, 17th Century Men's Dress Patterns surveys the masculine wardrobe in England during the early seventeenth century, 1600-1630. It features twelve chapters, each dedicated to one garment, including an ensemble of doublet and breeches, three doublets, a cloak, a hat, a night cap and a night-cap liner, a picadil, a pair of mittens, a sword girdle and hangers, and a linen stocking. Chapters on tailoring, dressing and inventories of men's dress provide key historical context.
In addition, the book presents full instructions for the making of each garment in a technically accurate, visually exciting, step-by-step format. The book delves into the intricate detail of the techniques involved in historical tailoring and dressmaking. Scale patterns, precise construction diagrams, an abundance of informative details, and x-ray photographs that reveal the hidden structure of each piece are accompanied by color photography of the finished article.
Like its predecessors, 17th Century Women's Dress Patterns: Book One and 17th Century Women's Dress Patterns: Book Two, this book promises to be a unique resource for costume designers, dress and social historians, students, and fashion enthusiasts alike.
