TRATADO DE SASTRERÍA

valuable practical guide for students and professionals alike, this work includes the traditional foundations of artisan tailoring that are dedicated to the technique of making men's garments. It brings together various aspects of the trade that have been put into practice by three generations of tailors, who developed their expertise from 1915 to the present day: Amaro García (1915-1932), Artiel García Parra (1920-1951) and the author of this work, Artiel García Aliste (1940-2020). The content published in this comprehensive treatise is a guide to all those getting started in the noble and ancient profession of artisanal tailoring. It includes chapters dedicated to anatomical measurements, pattern making, techniques for adapting to each client's figure and the making of jackets, waistcoats, trousers and coats, among other garments. Artiel García Aliste takes over his father's tailoring business at the age of 23. For years, he combines his work as a tailor with intense teaching work at the Escuela Superior de Sastrería. While Director of Revista Sartorial Española, he gives lectures and publishes several technical papers. As a retired tailor, he devotes his time to imparting the knowledge he has gained from more than 75 years of professional teaching.
