Talk:gusset

Chambers 1908, for some reason, gives a separate sense for the armpit part, thus: "the piece of cloth in a shirt which covers the armpit: an angular piece of cloth inserted in a garment to strengthen some part of it". Does this imply that the armpit gusset is not there as a strengthener? Odd. Equinox ◑ 22:03, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
