Wikipedia
Galloon
Galloon (sometimes spelled galon in British English) is a heavily-decorated woven or braided trim, typically made of, or featuring, gold or silver thread, which may be woven or embroidered. Galloon trim is used in the trim of military and police uniforms, ecclesiastical dress, and as trim on textiles, drapery, and upholstery. Galloon trim may also come in the form of lace, and is typically wide. In formal evening wear, a non-military usage, this decoration has evolved into satin stripes that conceal the outer seam of men's dress trousers. The distinction between galloon trim or braid, ribbon, and belting has not always been clear, and a great deal of overlap has occasionally caused problems in classification.
Webster Dictionary
Galloonnoun
a narrow tapelike fabric used for binding hats, shoes, etc., -- sometimes made ornamental
Galloonnoun
a similar bordering or binding of rich material, such as gold lace
Etymology: [From F. or Sp. galon. See Gala. ]
