I thought I would post this after the publication of David Page Coffin's new book on trouser making. The contrast between them is fascinating. David's principle aesthetic concern is summed up by the phrase "less is more" - slim and sleek finished edges, and lack of bulk. Some of this may be influenced by pursuit of a lighter sort of tailoring by women's tailoring houses. The Tailor and Cutter approach is a more classically structured with a curtained waistband lined with linen canvas. I also like their preference for brace trousers.

I'd love to somehow observe a fresh, new pair made as described here on the figure it was made for and demonstrating all the subtle points of shaping deemed essential by this text, compared to a modern garment that doesn't include them.

Hmm. The last time someone said something like this I ended up with a drape coat......

Actually I am about to start a pair of trousers for a Morning suit for a customer. If you like I will take pictures of the progress and details on manipulating the fabric.

I started taking photos of the construction process we use, which is very similar to what is posted here, but haven't completed it since I had to get the trousers done for a deadline and the picture taking was left behind after a certain point!
I'll see what I have so far.

What you are asking Jason to do is extremely time consuming. The main reason I suspect Jason didn't have to do it was because I post the following thread that saved him from having to do this:
