I have individual patterns for all of my customers. Some are made from blocks..some are drafted. .. blocks or draft.. It does not make one bit of difference. It does not matter at all.. It is the lack of expertise on the "tailors" part. A good block is as good as a good draft.. such as the Mitchell System.. if the tailor knows his business. Blocks vs Draft is not an issue. Individual paper patterns are made from blocks and drafts. I just want the correct information to be on the LL.
Thanks Frank. GB use, from what I understand, the "Thornton system".

A gentleman goes to his tailor to try on a new bespoke suit. The first thing he notices is that the left arm is too long.
"No problem," says the tailor. "Just bend it at the elbow and hold them out in front of you. See, now it's fine."
"But the collar is up around my ears!"
"It's nothing. Just hunch your back up a little . . . no, a little more. . . . that's it."
"But I'm stepping on my cuffs!" our chap cries in desperation.
"Well, bend your knees a little to take up the slack. There you go. Look in the mirror -- the suit fits perfectly."
And so, our man lurches out onto the street. Two fellows see him go by.
"Oh, look," says the one, "that poor man!"
"Yes," says the other, "but his tailor is a genius!"
