im getting ready in a few hours to make a pair of leggings out of 10 oz cotton canvas do they have to have fringe on the outside of the legs or is it just user choice im going for ohio indiana tribes look
Hey Hammer as far as I know the fringe wasn't that big a thing during the 18th century I think it came in later and I don't think it was ever used widly in this area that is New england New york and the Ohio valley
thats probably what ill go with then cause its kinda annoying to me to put the strings to fringe it
From what I have read, short fringe, if any at the side seam and little in the way of flaps here in the east
I'm 1/8th Shawnee but we didn't have cool leggins! I wear a Delaware style which is long fringe from the top to the knee, then a narrow flap from knee to the bottom. Cain't remember where I got the documentation but they're definitely one of a kind.

I got my info as the eastern indian had short fringe, just over knee in length. The eastern longhunter style being the same but longer above the knee with nothing but natural fringing. I am Mohawk and Blackfeet (and French and Irish, and Scottish and Welsh pnic)

Actually not a bad mix, all fairly close, at least no English thmbsup. All of the European other than the French was later on in the 1890's -1910's

Hammerhead just go to one of the sites for the particular tribe you are interested in and most of them have a catagory for that tribe , or native american web site is also very helpful on everything. Fringe, not fringe, flaps, short, long, decorated or plain, thight hi or attached to waist belt. Just your persona and how much PC you want to be!! We all still have those sunglasses in case :mini-devil-28492:

ALLRIGHT JULIUS!!! :applause: :applause: :applause:
If people just called them selves Americans instead of adding Fill in the blank-American this country would be a better place.
If is wasn't for all the others, this would not be the place it is !! That is what it is all about, some folks like to be proud of where they come from and still be part of the olio. You wanna just be you, have at it.
This site is based on early US history, and not the end result of the amalgamated US culture that you mention. It isn't pc flwa.
amen blackfeet
I'm a mutt and proud of it. ;D I got over a dozen breeds in me. flwa
