[Sca-cooks] OT - earliest belt loops?

[Stefan li Rous]

I've just gotten this message. Unfortunately, I am not on any of the
clothing lists which would be the logical place to ask this. However,
this list is full of ecen...widely knowledgeable people, so I thought
that I'd ask here. I'm curious about the answer myself. All my costume
books happen to be packed right now.

Thanks,
