the victorian tailor

If you want to take your dandyism to a whole new level, you could go back to the past for some inspiration, courtesy of The Victorian Tailor by Jason Maclochlainn.

A newly-published book, courtesy of Batsford, it has 160 pages of gentlemen's Victoriana, containing 'all you need to create authentic menswear from the Victorian period'. Historically accurate patterns enable you to make a wide range of garments, including morning coats, waistcoats, frock coats, trousers, shirts and hunting clothes, all with full instructions for tailoring and construction. The book is also illustrated with contemporary fashion plates showing the essential wardrobe of a Victorian gentleman.
