Ganse cord
A ganse cord is a type of cord used in millinery to give shape to a hat. It was used extensively in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in tricorns, bicornes and shakos used in military uniforms.[1] The cord is tied in a special knot called Noeud de franciscain.[2] The ganse loop made from the cord was also used to hold the cockade in place on the head covering.

gollark: How does it handle errors generally?
gollark: I mean, most of the validator warnings *are* just "not allowed in this context" and it's harder to process that standards-compliantly than to ignore it, but still.
gollark: My site is designed to work okay with no/old JS and >=IE11 CSS, but many things aren't, and I only test for firefox.
gollark: Oh, and half the stuff on the web uses JS... good luck with that.
