The theory that they were there to wipe away your own tracks is just not the case and is a common misconception. Lots of fringe was a sign of affluence and they looked good while on horseback but really they did nothing to hide your tracks
BowEd:
Yea I thought so too.I think because the mind set for tayloring back then was'nt like modern tayloring nowadays.Any excessive leather was fringed out to hang just the way it was.Gave everything a natural flow look during movement.
