“The biblical expression “to gird up the loins” meant to put on the belt, thus freeing the lower legs to permit work and easy walking.”

Yeah, but I always read it was more like this: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/10/02/how-to-gird-up-your-loins-an-illustrated-guide/

Much like what Japanese samuria did with their tasuki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs6y2gOfQfI

Men also wore a sort of diaper, a piece of cloth wrapped around their “loins”. This was ancient and Jesus is often depicted with such a piece of cloth and I don’t doubt he wore one under his tunic.

Interesting. When they say clothes made of cotton did they weave it, use a loom, or some other form of cloth?

They wore Carhartt.

"Gird your loins" meant more than cinching the belt:

In terms of the basics, men and women dressed much alike.

Deuteronomy 22:5, King James Bible
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

So, there must have been a difference.

Aloe has no scent so it must have been used as a base for perfumes.
