A man's chiton is a piece of cloth his wingspan wide by shoulder to calf long.
The real ones were wool cloth.
Sew up the open side (they didn't, but for ease today).
Have the model step into his chiton. The open top will go across the back
neck, under the arm, across the front neck, and under the opposite arm.
Safety pin at the shoulders. Make the back neckline tight against the
trapezius; drape the front neckline for comfort & style. When the neckline is
good, you may mark the pin placements for ease in putting on again.
Use more authentic pins if desired.
