Re: [h-cost] Opinions on Manesse Codex diagonal stripes

[Leah Janette]

Only a few years later, you find the infamous Spanish diagonal plaids.

They still don't answer the question of "cut on the diagonal or woven that 
way?" but they don't seem to be an artistic convention for heraldry.  They 
could not be stripes tacked on afterward (although I think that could be a 
reasonable possibility for the Manessa Codex garments).
