Hello, gentlemen!

I just finished scanning an interesting old book(early 50's) which has a section about terms in the tailoring and wholesale trade.

This is the link to the pdf- file:

Enjoy!

Lieber Schneidergott
Thanks a lot for the glossary! I have just downloaded the text and I am quite sure it will be quite useful. Would you possibly let us know the title of the book from which this glossary stems? I thank you in advance for this piece of information.
Liebe Grüβe! M.

The book is Vol. II of "The Modern Tailor, outfitter and clothier", published in the 50's.
Sadly I have found only this one...

This is the three volume text edited by A.A. Whife referenced in my bibliography:

Good luck in finding the other two volumes, as it is an excellent text all round.
