SECOND EDITION ScHULMAN's System OF Garment Cutting Coat and Vest Measure - and Adjustable Trouser System A MOST COMPREHENSIVE TREATISE ON THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CUTTING COATS, VESTS and TROUSERS (( Published and Arranged by L. SCHULMAN Director of the Schulman" School of Garment Cutting Copyright 19!6, by L. Schulman, N. Y PREFACE. ■'^^''''■ Having thoroughly mastered the subject of designing, I have deemed it advisable to impart the valuable knowledge that I have gained through thirty-five years of study and experience. The many years I have devoted to designing and garment cutting, enables me to edit the most practical treatise ever published on the subject. In submitting this second edition, I desire respectfully to direct attention, that the entire work has been carefully revised and brought up-to-date. I have made a most careful study of the necessities of the student for drafting patterns for abnormal figures, and have imparted this information in concise, accurate and well defined terms. More- over, in following my rules laid down, the student is enabled to cut any size or shape desired. This factor is essential and is one of my methods for making the student more practical. The compilation of a table of proportionate measures for the various heights, will also enable the student to understand, when comparing his own measures with the table of measures, whether his client is normal or abnormal, and thereby make the necessary changes. Of the many testimonials I have received, regarding my system work, I will mention only one, and that — after our work has met the rigid test and strict inspection of the United States Government, it has permitted my name to be printed in the Industrial Honor Roll in the "History of the Panama Canal." I also desire to extend thanks to my sons, who have worked zealously to make this edition a success. Extremely confident in the invaluable services this book will render to all concerned, I am, Sincerely yours, V L. SCHULMAN. Il^-^lf^ / JAN t^O 1916 (S)C!.A418516 INDEX.

"HOW TO MEASURE TROUSERS" The measurements for trousers should be taken in the following form: — The Outside length on ordinary trousers should be taken from the hip down to the top of the heel of shoe, as shown from I) to C. The Inside length should be taken high in the crotch to avoid short length measurement, as shown from A to O. The Waist is measured over the trousers, as shown by \V. The Seat measure is taken next. This measure should be taken over the full part of seat, as shown by O. The Double-thigh measure controls the system upon which I draft my trousers. I find this measure differs according to the form of the hips. In the normal figure you will find that the Double-thigh measure, which is taken below the full part of seat, as shown by T on Figures 1 and 2, gives you a difference of 3 inches less than the seat. The Knee and Bottom measurements are taken over the knee and bottom, as shown by N and B. SPECIAL NOTE. When measuring trousers take particular notice as to the shape and attitude of person being measured, enabling you when drafting trousers to use the necessary methods needed as shown in diagrams pertaining to the various forms, such as Bow-legs, Knock- knees, Round-hips and Flat-seat, Large-seat and Flat-hips. Also erect and stooping forms. SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. KNEE BO TTOM A ill ll. WAIST SEAT DOUBLE-THIGH WAIST FIGURE No. 1 FIGURE No. 2 HOW TO MEASURE TROUSERS SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. TROUSERS DRAFTING.

DIAGRAM NO. 10 This diagram illustrates changes for the following forms. As I have said before, the cutter must take particular notice as to the shape and form of the legs of person being measured. BOW-LEGS For the bow-legs we use the following process: — The patterns are drafted regular without paying attention to the shape of the legs. When the pattern is cut out fix a point fi inch (we find it sufficient for the ordinary bow-legs) from B to A. Fix point C a little lower than knee line. This being done we fold B to A and fix inside length according to measure needed, thus giving you a correct and useful method for ordinary bow-legs. This explanation applies to forepart and backpart. KNOCK-KNEES The method explained above can be used for knock-knees by reversing the lines. Using point D we fix }i inch from E to F and connect same with D as shown. Fold E to F and fix outside length according to measure, thus giving you proper method for ordinary knock-knees. BENT-LEGS We sometimes find people who are not exactly bow-legged, but their legs are bent just below the knee. We apply the following useful method : Point J is located half ways between knee and bottom. Point L on inseam is two-thirds the difference between knee and bottom. Point M is ^ inch up from L. Connect L and M to J. Fold L to M, giving you the required results. Also fix inside length according to measure. This explanation applies to forepart and backpart. SMALL AND LARGE THIGHS Sometimes we find that the double thigh measures difi'er more or less than in normal forms. We use the following process for altering the ordinary trouser pattern. For narrow thighs we shape the front from the hip inwardly as shown, at points P and I of front and O and S of back, also taking out a little at crotch at K. Finding this to be a useful and practical method we use the same process for changing the ordinary trcuser pattern for large thighs, according to measure required. Bring the crotch out at K and point of fork at G. Also at H and S of back and R at front. Thus giving you a practical and useful method for altering the trouser pattern.

FRAMEWORK AND REGULATION FOR HEIGHTS DIAGRAM NO. 21 To impress the fundamental points of this system upon the mind of the student, I herewith show the lines of construction pertaining to coat and vest drafting. It is necessary for the pupil to become thoroughly familiar with the lines of construction in order to proceed with the following diagram. We also show here how to regulate the scye-depth, waist length and front strap, according to the figure being measured. The height for this diagram being 5 feet 6 inches, we use this as a standard. For every inch below 5 feet 6 inches we make the scye-depth and front strap }i inch shorter, the waist length 54 inch shorter. For every inch above 5 feet 6 inches we make the scye-depth and front strap 5^ inch longer and the waist length 54 inch longer. This is shown by lines marked above and below D, W and F. A full table of proportionate measures for heights is given on page 94.

SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. 29 THE FRAMEWORK AND REGULATIONS FOR HEIGHTS DIAGRAM No. 21 30 SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. HOW TO TAKE A MEASURE. To thoroughly understand how to take a measure the process is explained as follows : — The sack-coat is removed, as all measures are taken over the vest. It would be advisable to adjust an elastic belt around the waist, thus giving you the natural waist length. Use the small arm-square with tape attached. Place the small end on shoulder as represented on Figure 1. This refers to shoulder height, as shown by letter S. Note. — Reverse square on opposite shoulder to determine whether both shoulder heights are alike. Insert arm-square as shown on Figure 2 and draw tape over shoulder, touching collar button at letter A. This giving you the front-strap measure, as shown by A. Here we learn the attitude of the party being measured, which will be explained for dispro- portionate forms. Adjust the arm-square under the arm and draw tape to center of back as shown by letter D, this giving you the arm-blade measure. Placing the tape at collar button we measure down to S for shoulder height to D for depth of arm, W for waist length, and L for required length. Adjust the arm-square snug under the arm as represented on Figure 2 and measure down to L a little lower than wrist for inside sleeve length. To measure the breast apply the tape around the fullest part of chest as shown at M. The waist measure is taken by applying tape over the hips. Note. — The breast and waist measure should be taken close for stout forms, and measured easy for proportionate forms. The seat measured is required when drafting sacks and overcoats and is taken the same way as for trousers. The process explained above is used for measuring sacks and overcoats, with addition for re- quired length. For frock coats we add the fashionable waist length only, which is 1^ inches longer than the natural waist length. THE VEST MEASURE Take particular notice that the vest is properly smoothed around the. part being measured. The same method explained above is used for measuring for vests. We need only know the opening desired and the required length. SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. 31 FIGURE No. 1 FIGURE No. 2 HOW TO TAKE THE MEASURE 32 SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. VEST DRAFTING. S. B.

DRESS-VEST DIAGRAM No. 15 38 SCHULMAN'S SYSTEM. VEST DRAFTING. STOUT VEST DRAFTING DIAGRAM NO. 16 The following measures are used when drafting stout S. B. Vests : Arm-blade 12j4 Opening 14>4 Shoulder height 3% Front strap 13% Scye-depth 9^4 Breast 40 Waist length l/J^ Waist 41 Full length 27 Back-blade 39 Note. — It must be understood that the back-blade is not a measure taken, but reduced from the breast according to the arm-blade. I find this method essential, therefore I will explain how this is done. For example, we have for this diagram 40 breast and 12^4 arm-blade. We use the ordinary square. Using the long end, we locate 12jX inches and then, revers- ing the square, we find that it shows 18.;4 by the ^. We now add 3 spaces on the 7^, giving us 19^ by the %, which is equal to 39. This gives us the back-blade. This method is used for stouts only. Square forward and down from A. S from A is the shoulder height, or Yq back-blade. D from A is the scye depth, or 1/2 back-blade. W from A is the waist length. Square forward from S, D, and W. G from W is 3^ inch. Connect points G and S. E is located on breast line. B from E is the arm-blade. 2 from B is 3^ inch, and square up. 3 from 2 is 3^ inch. M from E is one-half full breast. 4 from M is 23/2 inches for seams. U back from M is ^o breast plus 3^4 inch, and square up. V back from E is 34 back-blade plus 34 inch, and square up, locating point 8. H is halfways between E and 4. C from A is 3^ breast. 5 from C is 1 inch. 6 from 5 is % inch. F from 3 is the front-strap less the width of neck of back. 7 is located by connecting F and S. Connect 7 and 6 as shown by broken line. Raise neck ^ inch at A and shape neck and shoulder of back. 9 up from V is 1 inch. Shape arm-hole of back from point 7 through 9 to point ^ inch below point H. Connect F and 8. 10 from F for width of front shoulder is 34 '"^''i less than width of back shoulder. C up from 2 is 3-^ breast in arm-hole. 12 from C is 1 inch. Shape shoulder and arm-hole of front as shown. X on waist line is located by squaring down from M. P from X is 23^ inches. Connect points 4 and P and shape front edge as shown. 4 from F is the opening lAyi inches less the width of neck of back. Continue for length 27 inches plus 1 inch for seams, to locate point L. R from P is one-quarter full waist. Z from R is 1 inch. 16 from G is the same as from P to Z of front. Connect L and C. C from Z is 34 breast on side seam of vest. Finish bottom of front as shown. The back side length is the same at C as the front side length. Square across at point C at bottom of back to locate point 14. Raise back }^ inch at 14 and finish as shown. Shape the side seam of front and back from H to Z to C and from H to 16 to C. Allow 3^ inch for button-stand. We now mark lower pocket to enable us to produce the opening which gives us the stout effect. The height of the lower pocket is 33-4 inches at the side and 4 inches up from 18 to 20. The lower pocket is cut into point 20 as shown by heavy line. Now lap over % inch at point 18 as indicated by broken line. This opens clam at side and gives you the desired stout effect.

I find this method essential, therefore I will explain how it is done. For example, we have for this dia- gram breast 42 and 13 armblade. We use the ordinary square; using the long end we locate 13 inches and then reversing the square we find that it shows 19'^ by the %; we then add 3 spaces by the %, giving us 20^ by the %, which is equal to 41, thus giving us back-blade 41. This method is used only for stouts. Square forward and down from A. 5 from A is the shoulder height, or Yq back-blade. D from A is the scye-depth or yi back-blade. W from A is the waist length.

INVERNESS CAPE OVERCOAT DIAGRAM NO. 35 We find that the proper method to draft the Inverness Cape is to use a form-fitting Overcoat pattern. To thoroughly understand how to draft this cape, we proceed as follows : The back being marked out on a sheet of paper, we extend breast, waist, and bottom lines of back as shown. Draw a straight line up and down of center seam of back. C from side of back is 1 inch on breast line. D from side of back is 2^ inches on waist line. E from side of back is 2 inches at bottom. Shape shoulder of back from A, rounding off j4 inch at B through C, D and E. The notches 1 and 2 are 1 inch from A and B. The Front: The front being marked out, we proceed as follows: B is notch in arm-hole. Draw a line from B parallel to breast line. H from B is ^ breast. Square up from H. Y from H is 34 breast. Connect A with Y as shown by broken line. L from A is 21 inches for length of cape. This length is gained by measuring from neck point A of front shoulder to outside of length of sleeve at wrist. Pivoting at A, swing from L at side to L at front edge for front length of cape. T from L is 2>4 inches. Shape cape from shoulder, curving at T. Shape front edge of cape, running high at neck, coming into the gorge line at C, down to L as shown. K is located on waist line at side of front. Pivoting at A of front, swing from K to S as shown. Complete arm-hole from B to K. 3 from S is 1 inch, giving you notch for opening of cape. 2 is ^ inch from shoulder point at arm-hole from width of V cut in shoulder. V is ^ inch up from S. Point 3 being a notch, it must match with point D at waist of back. It also being understood that point D must match with point K of forepart. Points 1 and 2 of front shoulder must match with 1 and 2 of back shoulder. For working in the back shoulder the same process is used to fix point R on the front cape so as to match with point C of the back. This completes the Diagram No. 35.
