Buttons along the edge: that sounds familiar. I feel I've seen a photo of that...maybe in "Textiles and clothing, c.1150-c.1450" (Crowfoot. et al) cited by Catherine earlier? It's been a while since I did any research related to that time period, but "buttons along the edge" triggered an image of an extant find in my muddled brain.
