In cases where the scale isused for cutting a garment for a tall andslim man, a scale a size larger should beused for the lengths than for widths ; andif drafted by divisions, the bottom of syeand natural waist should be lengthened inproportion to the length required. Figure1 is clerical or English style of vest, andis drafted in the same manner as Figure 8, Viate /9 f « -3 . 0. 15 lit Plate XIX.] 41 ? with the following exception : that.) gfad-ualed inches, or i-(3th, is marked downfVoni 0 to locate the fVout of neck-gorii-o,and there is 1 inch added in front of lineat neck to 10, and 2 inches at front ofbreast to 11.

There is a little collar behind, repre-sented by the long curved piece, which isdesigned to give spring to this part of theneck gorge; the points of front of breast areindicated bj^ the numbers on the diagram,marked 11 behind, and I0?r in front.
