A frindged edge is interesting... I'm blind, so I wouldn't be able to go look at the pictures of the USAKs. I don't know how long the frindge is on this fabric, but it kind of sounds like a neat thing. The other day I was looking at a belted plaid that was frindged on all the edges and it looked kind of neat, but I'm guessing the frindge on the USAK is fairly short.
Thank you for clearing that up Rocky.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
