The “belt loops matter” called to mind an incident from my childhood when my aunt gave my uncle a pair of sans-a-belt slacks for Christmas. He was old school and could not fathom the idea of pants without belt loops. When he got mad, his voice would get high-pitched. I can still remember: “Where are the belt loops? There’s no belt loops!”
I’m truly curious how pants like that stay up?
Not to mention how idiotic it looks; but they look like they would just fall right to the ground.
Oh well; I guess that’s like wondering why people support socialism/communism when there are 100 million people dead from it.
