Facts and Quotes:
British sailors often faced brutal weather out at sea and used eyelets and string to fasten their clothes, even though a goldsmith had recently invented the button. These eyelets were woefully inadequate once you were soaked. It was at this time that a seaman invented the very first belt buckle, and soon it became all rage. Sailors attached them to leather belts and found them useful for holding up water-logged clothes, as well as easy to remove even with shivering fingers.
