Draping the chiton
#22
Pins are made of bronze wire and are endlessly recyclable. Sorry, John--they work, and what's more, when I started looking at dig results--like Sardis--I found just how many pins there were in some digs. And how many were lost to surface hunters? Metal detectors? The market in Istanbul? There's zillions out there. The ROM has so many they only display about 1/10th,a nd they still have the biggest display I've seen.

But sure. I'm not interested in arguing attachment points. Sewing, buttons, pins, what have you--I think all were used. But you can pleat into pins--in fact, that's what they're for, really--and the pleating actually protects the fabric, if you pleat at the attachment point. it allows soft, open weave wool to stand up to hard usage, which a button will not do--unless supported by pleats, of course.. Smile
Qui plus fait, miex vault.
