Miller; Jr.This is a veritable encyclopedia of every aspect of making fine dress shirts. The author has published a book of tips and details accumulated after decades of shirt-making with engineering-like analysis; dissection; experimentation of all aspects of dress shirts; like pockets; plackets; collars; yokes; etc.Besides this book; the author monitors and answers quickly ANY questions about shirt-making on Facebook ("Shirtmaking with DPC") and has a video class on Craftsy (e.g. $17.95 on sale at times) that complements this book.For those more interested in casual shirts; the authors other book "The Shirtmaking Workbook" (on too) is more general and is accompanied by a TON of links to his website and others regarding every aspect of shirt-making.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Still a very good source after all these years!By Brenda G.I am expecting Mr. Coffins new publication on this subject to arrive in the mail any day now. I ordered this book some time ago and have found in rereading it that it was just as engaging as the first time I read it! One would not think a book on the subject of shirtmaking could be at once precise and fun to read but Mr. Coffin pulls it off. Yes; he is very opinionated and passionate about the right way to do things; but he backs up his claims with the kind of knowledge that can only be gleaned from years in the trenches - this man has gleaned a great body of knowledge from his experience about materials and techniques for success on this fascinating subject. He also sites some sources that I was surprised to find are still valid after all these years! For example; the Gohn Brothers still exist and still sell workshirt chambray fabric. Please note that this is not full of "make it in a day" type projects (unless you are already an expert Tailor) however; it does contain Passionately Conveyed Knowledge that can; with persistence and patients; guide you on your quest to make a shirt worth wearing be your man or woman. Get out your Muslin and practice! Still a very good book after all these years!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You want to know how to make shirts? Buy this book.By Ken V. EppsThis is a thin but dense book. There is a lot of information to cover and it can be intimidating. Take your time and read it thoroughly. The author makes the subject very approachable and give a great insight into the logic and process. The recommended sources section seems a bit dated; but I know that would be difficult to keep up in a print edition
