    Did you know?
    If you're watching a western set in the time period of the 19th century and the men are wearing pants with a belt and belt loops its historically inaccurate? Belt loops were invented in 1922
    Belt loops are a feature that helps wearers keep a belt in place at the waistband of jeans. Belt loops were first added to the waistband of the Levi's 501 jean in 1922 when wearers began preferring belts over suspenders. Jeans most commonly feature five belt loops.
