It’s very interesting to learn that the origins of the features and details of some of the most popular clothing items out there are more than just a fashion statement.
The martingale, or the half-belt on the back of coats and jackets, is regularly mistaken by most as a fashionable item or flair – when, actually, in reality, it has a completely different purpose.
It was developed for men in the military who had oversized jackets that could be used as blankets as well. The half-belt was just used to gather the extra material to hold it in place so soldiers could walk around without the excess fabric.
Now apparently a fashion statement, but as you see, there's a history to it !
So now you know !
So now you know the how and why... Cool !!!
