"It is probable that they were first worn in the British army around the 1880s by the cavalry who were issued a specially designed uniform to avoid damaging their much finer... full dress uniforms when mucking out the stables and tending to their horses.... Buckles became popular in the British army where the wearing of such belts with different clasps and colours could distinguish units when in working dress... Thus was born the stable belt, a broad and eventually colourful belt with the buckles or clasps on the hip to avoid injuring the horses when working with them...

Walt Disney's original concept for Epcot : His Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow was intended to be sealed under a glass dome to keep out heat and humidity. It was to have had stores, apartments, schools, churches, offices, marinas, parks, golf courses, a monorail, a vacuum-tube trash-disposal system, a central computer controlling everything from streetlights to hotel reservations--and it was to have housed temporary residents who were to abide by Disney codes of dress and behavior. Epcot never took that form(...) Epcot today is a permanent world's fair that includes two sets of pavilions; scientific ones that celebrate mankind's technological mastery of the universe and a clutch of foreign lands--11 cultural boutiques that fit around a man-made lagoon as a symbol of human fellowship.
