The backnotch on the coat is placed halfway of the depth of scye, as explained under the Coats. If such has been done, the notches must go together both in front and back, and the sleeves will always hang correctly, no matter what the attitude of the customer, because all arms hang straight down, and by cutting the breast line on a floor level all the changes for attitude are done on the top construction line A-\', and therefore in no way interfere with the hang of the sleeve.

Only half of the trousers are drafted because the cloth is always cut on the double. For example, seat, 40 inches, would therefore be 20, which will be used on all divisions in the draft. Mark all letters on the draft as you proceed.
