Description

An introductory course for students interested in male period clothing, who wish to learn specialist skills and methods. The course offers an opportunity to look in-depth at male coats of the 18th Century.

Highlights

This course will start with a basic understanding of the history of male dress from the late 16th Century to the 18th Century, exploring the developments of male dress and the beginning of tailoring. We will look at the advance of tailoring methods through the 18th Century and the changes in style, cut and construction.
