That is a really nice detailed photo. Just as I mentioned, the fringe is directly twisted from the ends of the fabric. Each fringe piece does not appear attached separately. If you look on the hood, the green fabric continues to the end and the freyed ends are twisted into a fringe. Then that strip is sewn for decoration to make the upper twisted areas less sightly. Is this wool? It looks like a coars linen to me in which case the freyed edge is more likely because linen does tend to fall apart at the edge without a selvedge.
