German term
Kofferband-Besatz
Karo-Bluse
3/4-Arm zum Krempeln und mittels Riegel und Knopf zu fixieren, Kofferband-Besatz innen an der Knopfleiste, geknöpfter Zierriegel am Rückenkoller und 2 aufgesetzte Brust-Pattentaschen.
Checked blouse
3/4-length turn-up sleeves with tab and button for fastening, Kofferband-Besatz on the inside of the button band, buttoned decorative strap on the back yoke and 2 chest flap patch pockets.
"Kofferband" evidently means baggage strap (like a handle on a suitcase) or luggage belt (like at the luggage claim section in the airport). So what the heck is this?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

facing
| Facing would work for Besatz, but I was more wondering about the "Kofferband". In line with the other suggestion, though, grosgrain facing sounds good. |

Kofferband
Strapazierfähiges Band aus Polyester oder Segeltuch, das zur Verzierung eingesetzt wird.
Besatz
Unter "Besatz" versteht man in der Mode einmal als Verzierung der Kleidung aufgenähte Bänder, Borten, Rüschen, Spitzen etc. Aber "Besatz" heißt auch das Besetzen der Oberbekleidung. So wird z.B. an der vorderen Innenkante von Sakkos, Jacken oder Mäntel Stoff aufgesetzt, damit beim Offentragen des Kleidungsstückes eine rechte Seite des Stoffes sichtbar ist; d. h., die vordere Kante wird mit dem Besatz verstürzt. Das Besetzen bildet das Revers.
