Cutting out the pattern
Once you have decided what type of jacket you want to make, and selected the required pieces, you must add seam allowance before cutting the patterns out of the fabric. You will need to add at least 1 cm to all edges, and 2,5-3 cm to the hems of the sleeves. You need to cut two pieces of all pattern pieces unless they are cut on the fold. You can choose to have a collar cut in the same fabric as the jacket or collar and optional wristband cut from rib-knit fabric.
You will need the following pieces: the front, the back (choose only one of the alternatives), the sleeve (either the normal cut from one piece or the curved cut from two pieces), the front, back and hem facings (be careful to select the right ones), the chosen collar and lastly the optional wristband. Make sure you cut the sleeve at the right length.
If you are not going to use the ribbed wristband, make sure to taper the seam allowance out on the hem of the sleeve.

Suits are hard to make in general. Depending on your body type and need for movement different pattern types will suit you. We have provided patterns for suits with both raglan and normal sleeves, with different backs and sleeves. We have no possibility to test or provide added information at this moment. If we get funding or time and can figure out how to make better information we will – but for now this is what we have.
Asallam o alaikum dear sir can you explain that how we cut a pakistani mens shalwar kameez
We are not planning to develop any more patterns at this moment as the recent funding we’ve received is for adapting already made clothes. I have added the pants as something possible to test if we’ll have time and funding to look into new garment types, patterns and such in the future. I cannot promise that we will come back to them.

No.
These instructions are here to give you opportunity to educate yourself. If you need more instructions you will have to find someone where you live that can show you how to do it.
How can we get famous brands patterns such as Massimo Duti, Zegna etc?
Ask Massimo Duti, Zegna etc to adapt their patterns. Or maybe try to adapt a patterns such as Massimo Duti, Zegna etc yourself.
