Spotlight Story - "Samurai Huey" Jacket

The Dream

The Greek mythological character, Priam, was a resilient and noble warrior. Even though he didn't always win his battles, it was Priam's ability to deal with defeat and then redeem himself that made him mighty. Having his line name derived from such a person, Maurice decided that his jacket needed to be epic. He found an innovative way to incorporate the ideals of his line name with other elements symbolic of different aspects of his organization.

The Design

Maurice could have chosen a simple likeness of Priam for artwork, but instead he got creative. He took the idea of Priam and applied it to his favorite character from one of his favorite TV shows. As somewhat of a warrior and a socially conscious figure, Huey Freeman (of "The Boondocks") in samurai-mode was the ideal specimen to fulfill Maurice's vision. After he gather his thoughts, Maurice provided plenty of images to help us capture his artistic style.

The Delivery

In the end, Maurice has a jacket he can wear with pride.

He said "S4G encourages individuality and creativity. They truly make timeless pieces that exhibit ones style."
