Guide to men's tailoring, Volume 2

Step by step to a handmade men's jacket. Hundreds of steps and thousands of hand stitches are necessary before you hold a finished men's jacket in your hands. The trick is to follow the correct order of the individual steps and combine traditional and modern processing methods. As in the first volume of our men's tailoring books, "How to make shirts, trousers, and vests", step-by-step instructions in this book with numerous photos and drawings lead safely through the fittings to the finished garment. Detailed explanations ensure that you always keep an overview. This book is intended for advanced users with a few years of sewing practice. But even beginners can make use of the know-how of individual chapters. The way to the finished jacket is not short - but with the help of the tips and tricks from master tailor Sven Jungclaus and a little practice, first sewing successes can be achieved quickly ...

Sven Jungclaus hat seine Ausbildung zum Damen- und Herrenmaßschneider in den 90er Jahren bei Heinz-Josef Radermacher in Düsseldorf absolviert. Bereits damals hat er für Musicalproduktionen wie "Grease" und "Forever Plaid" in Düsseldorf oder "Die Schöne und das Biest" und "Tanz der Vampire" in Stuttgart gearbeitet. Nach acht Jahren an der Bayerischen Staatsoper in München als Herrenschneider und Herrengewandmeister hat er sein Fachwissen an der Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon, der Deutschen Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf und den Salzburger Festspielen weiter vertieft. Seit März 2013 fertigt er in seiner Gewandmanufaktur in Salzburg maßgeschneiderte Kleidung für Damen und Herren. Zusätzlich arbeitet der vielseitige Maßschneider immer wieder für die Kostümwerkstatt "Das Gewand" in Düsseldorf und wird für Opern oder Musical-Produktionen angefragt - z. B. für die Metropolitan Opera in New York, die Nationalsje Opera in Bergen, das Theater Basel, das Musical Chicago in Stuttgart und Berlin, Het Muziektheater in Amsterdam, die Salzburger Festspiele oder das Theater of Nations in Moskau. ------------------------------------------- Sven Jungclaus has completed his training as a bespoke lady's and men's tailor in the 1990s with Heinz-Josef Radermacher in Dusseldorf.
