紳士服裁縫: Tailoring Before 1960
A Japanese-language record of making men's jackets, trousers, waistcoats, and overcoats from pre-1960 Japanese tailoring manuals.
Field notes
The project organizes historical tailoring practice into garment-specific and process-specific sections. Its examples record drafting sources and specifications for jackets, trousers, and overcoats, while the technique pages explain operations such as pressing cloth into three-dimensional shape and using thread marks that disappear after removal. The August 2026 update history also lists sections on wool marking, materials, tools, terminology, and references, indicating an expanding reference archive rather than a single finished essay.
