A dictionary entry on "galon" from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré, defining it as a thick braid or ribbon used to trim or protect costumes, hats and curtains, in gold, silver, silk, wool or thread. It lists secondary senses (architecture, commerce, nautical, medical, measurement, proverbs) and gives an encyclopedic account of military galons, the braided rank and function insignia of the French army, including their types, widths and placement. Illustrations show braid samples and military galons.
