Another extant example is a 2nd half of 14th century sleeve end in the V&A collection (811-1899) with a plaid liner very similar to the purse. Plain weave with 1:3 twill horizontals and louisine verticals.

Re: 14th c plaid
Sadly the V&A has not posted a photo of that piece yet. I've seen a black and white photo (in Merchants, Princes and Painters). Do you have a color one, Galfrid?
