Excerpt from Sectional Measure Trousers SystemIt may not be out of place to briefly analyze sys tems of trousers cutting in general use today, and by such analysis, determine whether or not any of the vital elements are lacking to make them effective for use by the twentieth century cutter. In the first place I base my argument for sectional measures on the doctrine: That all trousers systems that establish fitting points for leg size, leg position and seat angle by any division of the seat measure, are seat measure systems pure and simple, corresponding in every de tail to breast measure coat systems, long since aband oued by at least 90% of the cutters who draft ln dividual patterns. Every thoughtful student of cut ting must concede that seat measure indicates nothing but seat circumference. And that the use of any divisions of such seat measure to determine size and position of the legs, pro-supposes that all men with a given seat size, have the same size legs, and that the legs are connected to the body in exactly the samemanner. This is not true with the arm and shoulder and it is not true with legs. I maintain that size and position of the legs, type of form, whether normal, ¿at seat with wide hips, or prominent back seat with hollow back waist are width elements not determined in the slightest degree by the seat measure. Further more: That outseam and inseam are insufficent to determine relative front, side and back length quan tities, which together with waist suppression consti tute the controlling factors of trousers balance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
