Hello, this is Fukuda of the TAILORS WORLD editorial department.
Recently, there have been a great many people starting out in the custom-made suit business with no experience in the industry or in the apparel industry but with no experience in custom-made suits. In the custom-made suit business, there are many areas where it is difficult to make it as a business simply by being fond of fashion.
For those who are just starting out in the custom suit business, or for those who have just started, here is a book that provides basic suit knowledge and rules.
The suit has roots that go all the way back to medieval Europe, and there are many rules. It is not simply a matter of making a jacket and pants and calling it a day. Working in an order-made suit store is the right way to deepen your understanding, but there are many things you can learn from the books of our great predecessors.
The contents of this book are devoted to the author’s tastes and preferences, as everyone in this world has strong preferences. We hope that you will find each of them useful and informative.
