This report aims to clarify how the methods of measurement in the drafting method of The Tailor's Guide by C. Compaing and L. Devere were interpreted and received in men's clothing technique manuals of the early Meiji era, through its translation, “A Teacher's Guide to Western Sewing.” Based on C. Compaing and L. Devere's book and the original book by G. Compaing, improvements in the process and features of the measurement charts, measured items, and the graduated measurement techniques were shown. The sources of The Tailor's Guide were tailors in France, and their techniques were reaching maturity. In particular, the selected measurement items and the graduated measures were the cornerstones for the improvement of clothing designs from individual sizes to a general-purpose design. In men's clothing technique manuals of the early Meiji era, the techniques of The Tailor's Guide were partially used, but were not accompanied by the knowledge and technology required to introduce them fully. The Tailor's Guide was positioned as a textbook aimed at introducing techniques to the general public.
