Thomas von NordheimVintage Couture Tailoring

It only teaches the steps of making a couture men's wool jacket. The whole book is that.

O livro é bem detalhado, mas a execução do blaser é toda costurada a mão. Achei ultrapassado. Já vi livros bem melhores no segmento alfaiataria.

A fabulous book and if you are as fortunate as I was to have Thomas as a tutor for Couture Tailoring at the London College of Fashion you will appreciate it even more. He also offers workshops at his own studio as shown on his website vonnordheim.co.uk. I especially appreciated learning how to construct a beautifully rolled lapel using pad stitching as well as a professional hand stitched button hole using a button hole stitch. I had already been hand stitching button holes but his method takes the skill to the next level. I am now much more confident in my ability to create a tailored “lined” jacket or coat rather than a simpler unlined garment. Don’t let the word vintage scare you off. The skills are as useful today as they were in the past.

Excelente, muy completo y detallado. Fotos del proceso y explicaciones claras. Algún detalle se agradecería contar con un esquema explicativo.

Fast delivery. Fair price

Das Buch ist der Wahnsinn, wirklich klasse. Viel Text, viele Erklärungen, sehr viele Fotos.. Die vorgestellten Techniken sind sehr arbeitsaufwendig, aber es lohnt sich. Alle notwendigen Arbeitsschritte sind sehr ausführlich erklärt und bebildert. Meine Jacke ist dank Thomas von Northeim ein erstklassiges Stück geworden. Ich kann das Buch allerdings nur Fortgeschrittenen empfehlen und ums Mit-der-Hand-Nähen kommt man nicht drum herum. Für alle, die eine wunderbare Einführung in das Schneiderhandwerk bzw.. Tailoring erwarten, es wird kein "dressmaking" behandelt. Das Englisch ist auch nicht zu schwierig geschrieben, solang man ein paar Schneider- Vokabeln kennt. TOP!
