I recommend Men's Garments 1830-1900: A Guide to Pattern Cutting and Tailoring, by RI Davis (book)
You follow the directions to draft a pattern to the exact measurements you need. I've used this for a number of garments, and they generally come out looking very good. However, you will have to draft patterns for linings, facings, undercollars, etc. yourself.
