The fronts are kept quite straight.

Two inches are added for fly.

The underarm seam is 1 inch from 12.

The distance between the underarm seam and back seam is divided into three equal parts.

The back is made about 2 inches wide at waist.

1 inch suppression is taken out at 3, 4, and 7, 8, and 2 inches at 11, 13.

The width of side body and side piece is made ½ inch narrower at waist than on depth of scye line.

The necessary spring for hips is all added at side body and side piece.

The fish taken out from the side of forepart is quite a matter of taste, and is quite as often as not omitted.

The back is finished with an opening at centre, and sometimes side pleats are placed at the bottom of side seams.

Flap pockets are put in on the hips.

In other ways it is completed to taste.

On this diagram is shown how to find neck point by sweeps, thus: Sweep from point 12 by front shoulder measure less width of back neck. Add ¾ to this, and sweep from 20 where the two segments intersect locates neck point F.
