On New York City's Canal Street, you can get all sorts of bric-a-brac for next to nothing. These belts, for example. Three dollars each. The belt has been around since the Bronze Age. However, it wasn't until the 1920s when it really began to be used to hold up pants. Previous to that it was usually used as adornment, especially in the military. The change? People, particularly men, stopped wearing their pants up above their navel...or so says wikipedia.
