I don't know what headword you would use for this (the Tudor Tailor calls it
a yard cloth, the Medieval Tailor's Assistant calls it a kerchief I suspect
Yard Cloth would be the more period term) but the many and varied uses for a

My suggestion isn't so much the headwords as something to include alongside
the headwords-- their counterparts in other languages. For example, it's
braies in French, but breeches in English, Bruche in German, and what about
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, etc.?
It would be beyond the scope
