3/8″ Gold Worsted Wool Tape

Made in England

3/8″ (10 mm)

Narrow widths like this are found as a binding edge or binding buttonholes on coats, jackets and waistcoats. In 1783 The Proceedings of the Old Bailey a court case recorded a constable was brought to the stand as a witness in a theft case. The constable said, “here is one green coat with gold binding, which I have seen on his back, or something similar to that; I make no doubt but it is the same.” Both 50/3 or 80/3 orange yellow linen thread match this tape well.
