leggings1927.1734 . 176410

« The leggings, which do not appear to be those worn by the young woman in the photograph, are each made from a single piece of red wool felt, into the seam of which is sewn a fringed strip of green felt. The bottoms and tops are edged with pink cotton tape. There is a strip of blue cotton tape at the top and a pattern of feather stitched yellow thread just above the edging at the bottom. These leggings, which reached from the ankles to just above the knees, narrow slightly at the distal end where there are thongs which slip over the feet. There are also thongs at the proximal end which are threaded through the edging and could be drawn tight and tied (fig. 24b). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.14, fig 24b (p. 52).
