dressdiaries posts suggesting a book written by a late 19th century tailor who patterned out a lot of the British military uniforms, including trim placement (!!!)
An obvious must have! A quick Google search found scans from the book, which I've downloaded but have yet to unzip. Nice to have a sneak preview before I go to the effort of asking for an inter-library loan!
As it's out of print I should also go slinking throughjlsjlsjls' list of online libraries. I'm very interested in trim placement, if only because I'm still not sure at which stage of creation it was applied, or even how it was fixed to the jacket.
