Re: Threads Announces New Editor

I am happy for you, and hope that you will consider some thought to menswear - Often I feel like the person that time forgot, as little has been published since David Coffin left a few years ago. I enjoy reading the pattern reviews, and now I have been reading threads for so long, some of the articles are updates of past ones - nothing wrong with that, but consider you have some people who do sew for Men, and it poses different fitting solutions say for adjusting a pattern to a man with a sloping shoulder or a pronounced stomach, maybe a bodybuilder with oversized shoulders or arm muscles, in pants fitting you sometimes find men with larger thighs but a flat butt - Darts can do a lot to fix Womans pattern problems, but not mens...

If a pattern company has 5% of there line devoted to mens patterns, perhaps you could follow suit?
