Armbands are usually made from stamped trade-silver and are worn at the lowest part of the upper arm, just above the elbow. Usually, a one inch wide satin ribbon or ribbons, most often in a color matching the neckerchief and shoulder scarves, is folded evenly over the back of each armband so as to have the strips of ribbon about twelve inches long, hanging freely.
