Mid to late 19th century Seminole buckskin leggings practically always had a fringed garter apron. The fringed area was wide enough to completely encircle the leg just above the calf and below the knee. The fringe could be 6" to 12" long. The illustrations show one-piece and two-piece construction. The apron should be cut lengthwise out of a buckskin, to be strongest along the direction of pull.
