Clothing, Shoe and Jewelry Parts: Labeled Diagrams of Things You Wear

One drawing per page of something you wear, with a numbered ring on every part, from the aglet on a shoelace to the welt of a dress shoe.

Most people land here holding the thing and missing the word. The sheath on the end of a shoelace is the aglet.

45 pages

Shoes, boots and skates 8

A sneaker and a dress shoe on one drawing, then a boot, a high heel, a pointe shoe, a sandal, a sock, an ice skate and a roller skate. Open them before writing to a cobbler.

Garments 18

Shirts, jackets, coats, dresses, skirts, pants and sweaters, along with the kimono, the saree, the kilt, the bathrobe and the tuxedo, using the names a sewing pattern or a tailor gives each piece, edge and seam. A space suit ends the set.

Hats, caps and helmets 5

Brimmed hats, the baseball cap, the cowboy hat and helmets. The helmet pages teach the names of the parts only and give no advice on fit or safety.

Jewelry and gems 5

A ring, a necklace, a bracelet, an earring and a cut diamond, with the words a jeweler uses when a piece comes in for repair.

Belts, bags and small accessories 9

Small things with more named parts than most people expect, such as a belt and its buckle, a handbag, a hiking backpack and an umbrella.

More about these tools

The strip the eyelets sit in is the eyestay. The narrow stitched strip where a dress shoe meets its sole is the welt. Each page is one drawing of something worn, such as a shoe, a jacket, a hat or a necklace, with a numbered ring on every part worth naming.

Sewing and fashion students use the pages as worksheets. English learners use them for clothing vocabulary. A customer writing to a cobbler, a tailor or a jeweler can ask for the right part. The five sets are footwear, garments, headwear, jewelry and small accessories. Open Study to read each name with a line on what the part does, switch to Find it or Name it for a quiz, and print any page blank or labeled.
