LondonGardens Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Thought these might be of interest to the geekiness in many of us... Found these 7287 Production Cards in a few of the sealed bag 7287s I picked up in the dandy $49 Hockeymonkey sale. They are in French, of course, and reveal the level of detail and effort going into these wonderful pieces of art! Can anyone translate or explain more??

LAK74 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Wish I knew what all those numbers mean. Can’t figure out much except that it’s a team order for road (white) Leafs jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonGardens Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm guessing they identify the craftsperson who completed that task. If so, shows how much care is given to maintaining quality. Id love to know what each of the French phrases mean. Probably stages of completion (like each stage of sleeve build)? Would be a bit of insight on how they are built. I also wonder if some of the phrases only apply to certain teams specialized design?

slimcutta Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Google translate down again? I kid because I love. That said, this doesn't seem to be overly straight forward, but then again, I don't work in haute couture. 'Taille' in french is normally used for the size of a garment or the length of someone's body and can also mean how something is cut, and tailleur is taylor, so 'taillage' is just referring to the overall cut and 'classage' is class. couture = cut posé = laid (eg – how it’s placed) gance = **haven’t a clue, never heard it before** coude = elbow prép. = short for préparation = preparation corps = body épaule = shoulder man = short for manche = sleeve bande = band poig = short for poignet = wrist/cuff ferm éclair = short for fermature éclair = zipper fermé = closure coté = side surpiqure = stitching dessus = on top dessous = underneath couv. = might be short for couverture = cover collet = collar soufflet = gusset ruban = ribbon oeillet = eyelet bout = might be short for bouton = button patinoire = skating rink bord = edge gilet = vest, or in this case referring to the body of the garment plaquette = placquet patte = foot, but with placquet likely referring to sleeve end opening broderie = embroidery ‘braid’ and ‘piping’ are what the French call ‘des anglicismes’ which basically means they’re english ‘cause there’s no french word for ‘em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
