Senketsu, Matoi Ryuuko's full-life-fiber uniform has this peculiar element on
it that looks like an eyepatch:

The eye-like orange-red element on our right is a part of the scarf, but what
is the black, grey-crossed eyepatch-like element on the opposite side?

question
kill-la-kill
What part of garment is this?


Judging from episode 24...
