  2. The Harvest Knot

    Share Share Post
    These are made and worn in the lapel of the coat during the time of the harvest is being cut. It is made of straw. The straw must be not too dry. It is made while the juice is still in the stem.
    It is shaped like this.
    But many knots of a different shape can be seen worn at fair and markets.
    We can find no reason why they are worn. But they worn by men only.
