Judging from this website:
http://wmboothdraper.com/TapeLace/tapelace.htm
it seems to be a kind of twill tape with a chevron pattern, used for
binding the edges of uniforms, etc.
It doesn't seem to be something worth strutting about, and certainly
isn't what we would call lace.

I have found a reference to a footman .......strutting in "worsted
lace"......
Have you any idea what that might be? I do not have any other
information to add to it except perhaps an approximate date.
