Men's Sewing Patterns

Minerva's men's sewing patterns cover suits, blazers, waistcoats, shirts, trousers, coats and casual wear — professionally drafted in CAD and graded to your chest, waist and height. Menswear rewards precision through the shoulders and chest, and every draft is engineered around those points rather than scaled from a generic block.

Men's fit is driven by the balance between shoulder, chest and waist — the so-called drop — and by clean sleeve and trouser lines. Because each pattern is made to your measurements, that balance is set for your frame before cutting, which is what separates a sharp jacket or a well-hanging trouser from an approximate one.

Jackets, blazers and coats assume a stable cloth that presses and holds shape, and the drafts include the ease and shaping a tailored garment needs at the chest and armhole. Shirts carry proper collar, yoke and cuff construction, and trousers are drawn for the waist-to-seat relationship that off-the-rack sizing so often gets wrong.

Because grading is measurement-driven, the same pattern serves a slim build and a big-and-tall one without a separate size run. You enter your figures and the block is drafted to them, so length, width and rise all scale together instead of forcing you into the nearest ready-made size.
