1918, Ivan Bunin, translated by Abraham Yarmolinsky, The Gentleman from San Francisco:
And when the "Atlantis" had finally entered the port and all its many-decked mass leaned against the quay, and the gang-plank began to rattle heavily, — what a crowd of porters, with their assistants, in caps with golden galloons, what a crowd of various boys and husky ragamuffins with pads of colored postal cards attacked the Gentleman from San Francisco, offering their services!
1982, TC Boyle, Water Music, Penguin, published 2006, page 194:
His hair is tied back with a bit of silver galloon, and he is dressed with panache in a blue velvet jacket, white silk hose, buckled pumps.
