Long ago, my friend Kate suggested that I print fabric patches using my collection of wood type. I think about this from time to time and even bought iron-on patches to experiment on. But somehow nothing ever came of the idea. A printing collective in England, SORT (for “Society Of Revisionist Typographers”) has something even better — several sew-on patches, printed letterpress, with Victorian slang names for types of common rogues: smatter hauler (hanky thief), drag sneak (luggage thief) and tooler (pickpocket). See them all here.
