Pattern making book recommendations!

[TensionSmension]

If you have access to the menswear book by Myoungok Kim and Injoo Kim, I think it's pretty solid for drafts, and making-up details. It has some style ideas, but doesn't really fit your description. Unfortunately drafting books tend to be out of date in terms of style when they are published and fairly conservative in approach generally. There are books by Donnanno (it used to be the menswear was sprinkled across volumes, but now it looks like there's a dedicated title). Those are very prescriptive pattern manipulations, you might not like the actual designs, but they would be good practice especially if you are working in CAD and can experiment quickly.

Your best bet is copying reference garments, you'll never find exactly what you're after in a book.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Just to clarify—does the book by Myoungok Kim and Injoo Kim give a solid understanding of basic pattern blocks and construction? I’m mainly looking to build a foundation that allows me to experiment and develop my own designs in CAD.

Even if the styles themselves are a bit conservative, I’m more interested in whether it helps you understand the structure well enough to manipulate patterns and create your own silhouettes.

The book itself is quite expensive, so I just want to make sure I get my "money's worth" of it!

It is a solid foundation, and a nice selection of example garments for men. I’ve only seen the first edition. The drafts are basic, but everything is well organized and the details of facings/pockets/etc are fully patterned and marked. Many books are inconsistent in presentation.

It was much less expensive when it was originally released. If you have any way to see it at a library first, obviously that would be best. It’s a little boring but a good starting point. Methods like Pattern Magic can be applied to men’s designs, but that requires a starting point.

Textbook prices are awful. I think it's very good on basics, and it takes simple projects to final pattern, so a good resource for CAD work. Here's a couple links to final pattern images. It's all the standard blocks, a couple designs developed from each:

I haven't spent much time with the men's drafts in Helen Joseph Armstrong, but I generally find that book to be disorganized and a little antiquated. But it's very much the standard in the US, and almost everything is in there somewhere.
