Leather belts

In the Middle Ages the leather belt was a symbol of power, domination and marital fidelity. The pants of the man and the woman in the skirt were held up by a belt. The leather belts of  the nobility also served to hold the sword.


In the 12th century, the belts were so long that they were wrapped twice around the waist. From the 13th to the 15th century men and women wore on the belt the alms bag, belt bag, toothpick, scissors, eating utensils and knives. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the leather belt lost its significance, since it did not hold the clothes any more.


In modern times, men started wearing belts in the 1920s, as trouser waists fell to a lower line. Before the 1920s, belts served mostly a decorative purpose, and were associated with the military.  Moreover, prior to that trousers did not even have belt loops. In sports, trousers with belt loops were present in the 19th century already. Today it is common for men to wear a leather belt with their trousers.
