Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Crossing the boundary between military history and the practical trades, this remarkable manual provides detailed cutting patterns, measurement specifications, and construction instructions for the full range of British military uniforms. Written for working tailors engaged in the production of military dress, the guide covers tunics, trousers, breeches, overcoats, undress jackets, mess dress, and the specialized garments required by different branches and ranks of the British armed forces. The level of technical detail is extraordinary: seam allowances, dart placement, facing construction, button spacing, and the specific modifications required for different regimental distinctions. The manual represents a category of publication that rarely survives in library collections. Military tailoring guides were working documents, used in cutting rooms and workshops where they accumulated the wear, stains, and annotations of daily use. They were produced for a professional audience that already possessed cutting skills and needed authoritative guidance on the precise specifications that military regulations demanded. The vocabulary throughout reflects this professional context: terms of the tailoring trade intermingle with the nomenclature of military dress regulation, creating a hybrid technical language that is unlike anything found in either conventional military history or civilian fashion literature. The significance of this work extends across multiple collecting and research communities. Costume historians gain access to the actual construction methods behind the uniforms depicted in paintings, photographs, and museum displays. The difference between seeing a Victorian military tunic in a glass case and understanding how it was cut, assembled, and fitted transforms one's appreciation of both the garment and the industrial infrastructure that produced it. Military reenactors and historical costumers find here the primary-source specifications needed for authentic reproduction. Textile historians can trace the construction techniques and materials that characterized military garment production in the period. The patterns and measurements documented in the guide also illuminate the social and physical history of the British Army. Sizing standards reveal assumptions about the bodies of soldiers. The hierarchy of dress, from full dress to field service to fatigue, maps onto a system of social performance in which the uniform communicated rank, regiment, branch, and occasion with visual precision. The technical requirements for officers' dress versus other ranks' dress encode class distinctions in seam construction and cloth quality. Modern readers across the spectrum of military, textile, and social history will find this manual fascinating. The Frontier Model Bibliophile edition preserves the complete guide with its patterns, specifications, and trade instructions, maintaining the working-document character that makes it an irreplaceable primary source for anyone interested in how British military uniforms were actually made. Period tailoring manual with cutting patterns, measurements, and construction details for the full range of British military uniforms and regimental dress. This item is printed on demand.
