Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-15 00:00:00 Darcy Watt I thought this book would be more about pattern drafting and fitting pants, but sadly it is not. It's about the style of the finish on pants. so while it's good for tips on making pants look professionally finished, its missing the whole first part of getting the pants pattern. The author says there are links to places that have a list of patterns he prefers, but that's not what I was looking for. I wanted a book on how to draft pants patterns and make them fit nicely and I didn't get that. So this book is kind of misleading in that department. Oh well, when I finally do find a decent pants pattern I'll know all the tips and tricks to make them look professionally finished.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-12 00:00:00 Andrew Hayes A great book with a lot of different styles to make when making trousers. My one issue is that elsewhere Coffin comments on cryptic instructions for constructing garments and then does the same thing himself in this book. A few more diagrams would have been handy here for the more complex constructions.
