Excerpt from H. Matheson's Scientific and Practical Guide for the Tailor's Cutting Department: Being a Complete Treatise on Measuring, Drafting, and Making-Up, in All Styles From Childhood to Old Age
It is now over thirty years since I cut and made the first coat, and twenty-two years since I entered the Tailoring business on my own account. The skill of tradesmen was not so severely tested then as it is now. However that excellence of workmanship has become indispensable to success, it is more imperative than ever that he who would impart instruction in any art or science should be possessed of a thorough and practical knowledge of what he teaches.
From my long experience and favourable circumstances in business, I trust that I shall be found to possess the qualifications so much requisite to communicate a clear and practical knowledge to others. This system of cutting is not an inven tion of the departed, or any one living except myself, and is not got up for a speen lation, but from a desire to do good to my fellow-man. It has been tested for the last eight years extensively under my own immediate observation and in my own hands, with the greatest success ever known in fitting customers, without trying on or refitting, as is usually done. The system is simple and easily learned a practical Cutter can learn it in less time than he can cut a coat, and put it in Operation with the greatest ease after he drafts the first coat.
For accuracy, elegance of design, and rapidity in executing a draft, it has no rival in the profession, as it will draft a coat in five minutes and use less cloth, or, at all events, as small a quantity as any pattern in existence. Patterns are a thing of the past with this system, and will only be used hereafter by inferior cutters and old fogies.

Excerpt from H. Matheson's Scientific and Practical Guide for the Tailor's Cutting Department: Being a Complete Treatise on Measuring, Drafting, and Making-Up, in All Styles From Childhood to Old Age
In the course of the demonstration various suggestions as to the mode of making up, and the means which may be adopted to please the customer's taste as well as the fit. Of his person, have been interspersed. These will be found to be, at least, not irrelevant to the objects Of the work and I hope that amidst these light and extemporary digressions something more than mere amusement will be found. My aim has been to point to a train of thinking which I have found both useful and agreeable in the pursuit of my business, and to induce Tailors and Cutters to acquire for themselves some knowledge Of the science Of Anatomy and the art of Drawing, as both will be serviceable for the Cutter at all events, if not for the Tailor, and will furnish an immense stock of profitable thought and pleasing recrea tion for leisure time.
Following the System Of Measurement and Drafting general Observations are given with respect to peculiarly formed persons, which, from the very nature Of the subject, requires to be treated scientifically and in a practical manner, laid down by scientific rules for all forms of persons, and every character Of garment in use by fashionable gentlemen. I would inculcate the urgent necessity Of attending to the figure, gait, and bearing of customers, as it will be of incalculable value to the Cutter to attend to these observations. There is one circumstance which requires particularly to be noted, which is only the one mode of demonstration used in all parts of the work, as in Boys' and full grown Men's clothing.
