Since its first edition in 1980, *Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear* has become the definitive text on the subject, serving as an essential resource for both students and practicing designers.
The fifth edition enhances the chapter on computer-aided design (CAD) with full-color illustrations, reflecting the technology's growing significance in the industry and academic curricula. The remainder of the book has been updated to include new blocks for tailored shirts, detailed guidance on adapting men's blocks for women's wear, and revised sizing and labeling information.
With color now used to distinguish major pattern groups, the book retains its proven layout of clear text and diagrams, making it an indispensable purchase for fashion and design students.
