Eihän vöitä nyt ole pitkään aikaan näissä seteissä käytetty. Tosin ei pelkästään mikään italojuttu.
lainaus suits of james bondista:
Though the go-to method of supporting trousers these days is the belt, English suits weren’t traditionally worn with belts. The Duke of Windsor famously went to an American tailor to have his suit trousers with belt loops made because his London tailored refused to. And there are many reasons not to wear a belt with a suit:
A belt breaks the visual flow from the coat to the trousers, especially on a lighter suit. A suit should be one.
A belt buckle disrupts the line of a fitted suit coat.
A belt buckle creates a lump under a waistcoat on a 3-piece suit.
Trousers will sag during the day with a belt and need to be pulled up.
Only braces can solve problem 4, but the other three problems can be solved with side adjusters. By the 1950s it was common for English tailors to make trousers with an adjustable waistband system to take the place of braces, and there are a number of different types of waistband adjusters.
