"Various military braids were among the trade goods carried by most early day Indian traders. At Hudson's Bay Co. posts, it was called 'Llama' braid. We now sell a braid that is very similar to the early braid that was sold to HBC. It gets it's name from the sly little fox sitting atop the trader's hat. It is ideal for blanket coat binding, breechclouts, leggings, moccs & many other uses that call for authentic old-time braid. It was used instead of ribbon on many old-time Indian items as seen in museum specimens, ie; early strap dresses, Metis dog saddles, Chippewa bandolier bags, etc." Preston Miller, 1975 Four Winds Trading Post Catalog
