Expert's Guide To Men's Tailoring

Any body shape is 'normal' Instead of forcing the customer into a norm, as it happens in the clothing industry with its ready-to-wear sizes, bespoke tailoring adapts to the people. Each body is individual and unique. There are no extraordinary body shapes in bespoke tailoring. There is also no 'norm' that should be particularly emphasized since every customer brings challenges. In this book, the proven step-by-step instructions ensure that even less experienced pattern designers can work out the ideal fit for men with trained muscles or a pronounced belly to make jackets, pants, etc. - based on individual body measurements. Master tailor Sven Jungclaus has refined his know-how over the years in a practical way and is now passing on this knowledge in a way that is easy to understand.

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.
