Blue Cardboard Tailoring Pattern Piece for Jacket

1980s · 1980s · British

A blue cardboard pattern piece from the renowned Savile Row tailoring house Henry Poole & Co., dating to the early 1980s. The pattern shows the characteristic curved armhole and shoulder line typical of structured tailoring construction. The piece appears to be for a jacket or coat component, likely a back panel or sleeve section, given its elongated shape with precise curved edges. The cardboard construction indicates this was a working pattern used in the bespoke tailoring process. Henry Poole & Co., established in 1806, was instrumental in developing modern men's tailoring techniques, and this pattern represents their continued craftsmanship during the power dressing era when structured, authoritative silhouettes dominated fashion.
