Celebrated for its clear layout and practical approach, it empowers users to create precise, adaptable menswear patterns and confidently innovate beyond standard templates. ## Description Since the first edition was published in 1980, Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear has become established as the standard work on this subject and has proved invaluable as both a textbook for students and a reference source for the practising designer. In this fifth edition, the chapter on computer aided design now has full colour illustrations and reflects the growing importance of CAD to the industry and as a part of fashion and design courses. The rest of the book has been updated where necessary: in particular, new blocks for tailored shirts, new details on how to adapt men’s blocks for women’s wear, and a revision of sizing and labelling information. Colour is now used to differentiate the main groups of patterns and with its tried and tested layout with clear text and diagrams, Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear is an essential purchase for students of fashion and design. Review: great book - After spending my time getting my BA in Fashion design i found that i was unable to create patterns only deform them, it presents the the lack of care at Uni. So spent the money to buy this book to help me along it is a bit hard to follow but something that before long will get the hang of. It's a fantastic teacher and allows you to take more control of creating patterns. It's a book worth having as it allows you the understanding of creating a pattern therefore not having to be dependent on buying overpriced pattern pieces that will more then likely be a bad fit. Review: the book is easy enough to understand that it can be used by ... - While the book seems to be written for someone following a fashion design course, the book is easy enough to understand that it can be used by just about anyone with some sewing knowledge. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #40,087 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #116 in Textile & Costume Design #172 in Interior Design Architecture #197 in Needlecrafts & Textile Crafts | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 483 Reviews | ## Images ![Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear 5e - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cOONbV+YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great book *by H***D on 13 April 2012* After spending my time getting my BA in Fashion design i found that i was unable to create patterns only deform them, it presents the the lack of care at Uni.

Je le conseille bien plus que n'importe quel autre bouquin de modelisme car il est facile d'accès, utilise le système métrique et permet d'à peu près faire tout les vêtements contemporains. Je conseille de le compléter avec des livres de modélisme historique, de quelques recherches googles pour se renseigner sur toutes les repises possibles sur un vêtement, de plusieurs lectures et d'un bon entrainement (oui, le patronnage ça vient pas tout seul). En bref, un excellent livre, plein d'information sur n'importe quel type de vestiaire masculin. ## Frequently Bought Together - Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear - Metric Pattern Cutting for Women's Wear - Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/507071033-metric-pattern-cutting-for-menswear-5e](https://www.desertcart.no/products/507071033-metric-pattern-cutting-for-menswear-5e) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
