Pattern Drafting for Bespoke Menswear - the Imperial System

In order to be more inclusive we have decided to release two video series, one in metric units and the other in imperial. Since we are aware many third level students in the EU and British Isles use the metric system, we have converted the book into that unit of measure and made it available as a stand alone work.

Rory’s system is based on the age old “half breast system” aka “half chest system”. It is a system which uses a scale based on one half of the chest measurement to find other measurements that cannot be measured directly. It also incorporates head units as mentioned above as well as a few direct measurements. Rather than swearing by one system, Rory has taken the best of what is available and brought it together to deliver the following book and video series.

Rory Duffy

From the very early days of Rory’s career, he envisioned a tailoring academy that would preserve, promote and enhance the art of handcraft tailoring across the globe. A school that is an example for the industry to follow, and one that its students would be proud to be members of. Rory’s mission is to show the world that the best way to learn handcraft tailoring is not through the outdated method of apprenticeships but by arming each student with the knowledge and the skill set they so desperately desire.
