Description
This work is devoted to the cutting of all kinds of Lounge Jackets by the Cutter's Practical Guide System, and contains the result of much research, experiment and experience.
The simplicity and reliability of the C.P.G. System are admitted on all hands, and are being practised in thousands of cutting rooms with success, so that we have every confidence that it will prove equally successful in the hands of those who purchase this volume.
Lounges have undergone considerable changes during the last few years, and the diagrams in this work are thoroughly up-to-date; but whilst they portray the latest styles, they give equal attention to the ordinary patterns, and those special styles which only meet with an occasional demand, so that the whole subject of Lounges is treated in a comprehensive manner.
We also note that every phase of disproportion has been fully described, so that we have every confidence that this work will prove a worthy successor to the many C.P.G. parts that have been published by us, and which have proved so helpful to the trade.
The method of treating the various styles has been concise and to the point, allowing the description of the system to appear on the same page as the diagram.
We have omitted illustrations of style in nearly every case from the pages, inasmuch as they would interfere with the above plan; but we have supplemented the work by a series of fashion figures, which will serve as a useful guide to stylers for all garments of the Lounge class.

Person
W.D.F. Vincent began his career as an apprentice with Frederick Cooper in Yeovil. After completing his training, he briefly established his own businesses in Oxford and later in Maidenhead as a clothier and tailor, though neither venture was financially successful.
While in Maidenhead, Vincent won an essay competition on tailoring, which was open to all members of the National Federation of Foremen Tailors, titled "The Great National Work on Trouser Cutting, or Defects in Trousers." He submitted his entry under the pseudonym "Oxonian" and won the first prize. This success led him to secure a position with The Tailor and Cutter magazine.
In the early years, Vincent contributed numerous articles on tailoring methods and techniques to the magazine. However, due to the terms of his employment, these articles were published without attribution to him.
By the 1890s, Vincent became a leading tailoring authority. His books, such as The Cutter's Practical Guide to the Cutting & Making of All Kinds of Trousers, became a standard reference work.
By 1917, Vincent referred to himself as a journalist.
The Tailor and Cutter magazine and academy were operated by John Williamson & Co Ltd.
In the 1950s and 1960s, many tailors displayed their Tailor & Cutter Academy Diplomas, signed by W.D.F. Vincent, as the Chairman of Examiners, as a centrepiece in their shop windows. One such example can still be seen on display at the Museum of Welsh Life at St. Fagans in South Wales.
