Excerpt from A Complete Course in Dressmaking: How to Make Men's Clothes Cleaning Materials Index
My first little piece of advice to you is to look over the clothes HE already has. Ex amine the seams - jot down in your memory whether there are two stitchings or one, whether it's a plain seam or a lapped-felled one, whether the garment has reinforcements and linings, etc. Get a good mental picture of how the finished garment, you are planning to make, ought to look.
In this lesson I am going to give you a few examples of different types of men's clothing that are practical for a woman to attempt to make. The making of these garments will serve as a review of many items you have already studied. I shall tell you about the finishing of the various garments but not the pattern making. You can secure patterns for shirts, underwear, etc., from any commercial pattern company. Making men's patterns is also a trade by itself.

Excerpt from A Complete Course in Dressmaking: How to Make Men's Clothes Cleaning Materials Index
Him. You'll stretch your clothes' dollar a long way, too, if you spend it over the piece goods counter instead of in the haberdasher shop. A shirt will cost only the price of four yards of twenty-seven inch madras. If you get the making habit, you can cut down on the cost of underwear, nightshirts and pajamas, too.
When you have made your first shirt or pajamas or bathrobe or smoking jacket, you'll be surprised how easily the work slips along. It won't take as long as it would to have turned four yards of madras out some frilly garment for yourself. About the most forbidding statement that can be made about men's clothing is, "There is only one right way to stitch and finish them." It's not like a blouse where you can choose between three or four different ways of turning your seams.
