M3 (2 copies located), not in SELIGMAN or in National Union Catalog. Extremely rare 1887 work by master tailor Madison, combining his earlier shoulder-breast measure pattern drafting system for overcoats, dress coats, frocks, sacks, vests, and trousers and supplementing it with his grading system for sizes and builds. Spine missing and hinges loose; title page separated, otherwise internal contents very good.
