Blue Cardboard Tailoring Pattern Piece

This is not a garment - it's a sewing pattern piece made of cardboard, which is a tool for garment construction rather than clothing itself. · 1980s · British

A blue cardboard pattern piece from Henry Poole & Co., the renowned Savile Row tailoring house. The piece shows curved edges typical of garment construction templates, with visible fold lines or construction marks. As a pattern piece rather than a finished garment, it represents the technical foundation of bespoke tailoring. The cardboard appears sturdy and professional-grade, consistent with the high standards of traditional British tailoring houses. The piece likely corresponds to a jacket or coat component, given Henry Poole's specialization in formal menswear and military uniforms during this period.
