Günther F. Hertzer’s Garment Cutting in the Twentieth Century is a technical manual on the cutting and drafting of clothing for the modern trade. It lays out systems and measurements for producing well-fitting garments, addressing the professional tailor and the ambitious student alike.
The book documents the cutting practices of its era, when fit and method were central to the craft of tailoring. Hertzer’s instruction preserves the technical knowledge behind early twentieth-century menswear and dress. A detailed guide for the trade, it is available here as a free EPUB download.
