« Short leggings that reached to or just above the knees, and were presumably worn by women, were held in place by garters. The collection contains one pair made of narrow, oval strips of heavy wool felt edged with light blue cotton tape. Down the center of one side is a simple design in blue cording on one garter and green on the other. At either end is a short length of moose skin to serve as a tie (fig. 26b). » Vanstone, James W.
