During the construction of a jacket, tailors will often mark the back side of the fabric to ensure the correct sides face outwards. While working on a green waxed cotton safari jacket for the brand Hieros, it occurred to me to mark the wrong-side with quotations from the Illiad.
Here is the face-side with completed pockets:
Front right
Front left
Back
Right sleeve
Left sleeve
Front
Back
Finishing the jacket -- closing the lining and top-stitching the hem & cuffs
The owner liked the idea of chalking the interior, and suggested I come up with a hang-tag pointing this design detail out to customers. Here's what I came up with. It doesn't list ALL the quotes, but that version of the tags came out looking very cluttered.
