As regards the Work itself, the systems, instructions, and details of execution, we submit with confidence that they will be found both reliable and of genuine practical service. They are not the product of theory or speculation, but rather of one who has gained wide and varied experience in this particular branch of the trade and is therefore well qualified to speak with authority.
Both the diagrams and the accompanying text have been prepared with the greatest care, uniting clarity with refinement. Every line has been drawn with precision, and every explanation phrased with utmost attention, so that the student may proceed with confidence and the experienced practitioner may find their skill further enriched. No effort has been spared to make this Work worthy of its title: a genuine Guide to Shirt Cutting - not merely a compilation of rules, but a practical manual filled with hints and suggestions of lasting value to both learner and expert.
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.

Sven Jungclaus hat seine Ausbildung zum Damen- und Herrenmaßschneider in den 90er Jahren bei Heinz-Josef Radermacher in Düsseldorf absolviert. Bereits damals hat er für Musicalproduktionen wie Grease und Forever Plaid in Düsseldorf oder Die Schöne und das Biest und Tanz der Vampire in Stuttgart gearbeitet. Nach acht Jahren an der Bayerischen Staatsoper in München als Herrenschneider und Herrengewandmeister hat er sein Fachwissen an der Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon, der Deutschen Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf und den Salzburger Festspielen weiter vertieft. Seit März 2013 fertigt er in seiner Gewandmanufaktur in Salzburg maßgeschneiderte Kleidung für Damen und Herren. Zusätzlich arbeitet der vielseitige Maßschneider immer wieder für die Kostümwerkstatt Das Gewand in Düsseldorf und wird für Opern oder Musical-Produktionen angefragt - z. B. für die Metropolitan Opera in New York, die Nationalsje Opera in Bergen, das Theater Basel, das Musical Chicago in Stuttgart und Berlin, Het Muziektheater in Amsterdam, die Salzburger Festspiele oder das Theater of Nations in Moskau. ------------------------------------------- Sven Jungclaus completed his training as a bespoke ladies' and men's tailor in the 1990s with Heinz-Josef Radermacher in Dusseldorf.
