I'm at the pattern drafting part of the waistcoat series and it seems like Rory is using some kind of chart for measurements like waist suppression and such. Where can I find that?
Thank you sir. I’m starting with the waist coat but have printed out your comments here for my notebook as I work my way through all three courses. Thank you very much.
Ah ok. So some measurements are based on height, some on the chest and others on the waist.Chest sizes are also paired 40/41 or 44/45 given it two column and not just one.SoYou've got your height and head unit. Neck and half neck (on the draft) Chest to waist drop (6")Plus 1" for seatHalf back is based on the chest Front angle is based on waist girth, the stand is based on chest girth.Scye depth is a combination of chest and height.Pocket is based on chest as is the lapel width. The notch is based on the lapel. Buttoning is height.Vest back length (vbl) is based on height, Vest style point (vsp) is based on height. Vest waist suppression (vws) is based on the waist.Natural waist and coat length are based on the head unit.Trousers waist is the coat waist plus 1"Inside leg, rise and side seam are loosely based on Head unit, really these are direct measures. As some figures have long torsos and short legs are vice versa.
I am quite familiar with the fact that 6´ = 72" :) I would be in a lot of trouble if I had not mastered that in almost 50 years on this planet. My question asked what is the difference as there is a columns on the sizing chart for 72 inches and next to it a chart for 6ft. What is the difference, or is this to show an average range for persons of this height. Some of the measurements are filled in in both columns and some are not. Not trying to be snarky. just trying to make sure I am using the correct measurements and learning.In addition for the chart. My chest is 44in so my scale is 22… should I use vest measurements based on the values of my chest?
I have printed out the chart and I am working to add in some of my specific measurements and will use other defaults. Can someone explain the difference in the 6' column compared to the 72" column? Thanks in advance.

I don't have the measurements chart in front of me so if I missed any let me know

Hello Rory,

6ft is 72"
I have printed out the chart and I am working to add in some of my specific measurements and will use other defaults. Can someone explain the difference in the 6' column compared to the 72" column? Thanks in advance.
Ah I missed that, thanks :)
It's on the blog
Rory says in the drafting video that these measurements are all from the chart "which will be made available to you"
