[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9557705, member: 8267"]These 2 little bits of red fabric make me wonder if the whole belt was formerly covered with a red wool that has since been consumed by moths (or dermestids). [ATTACH=full]456579[/ATTACH] Is there any fastener that allows the belt to open flat, or just the elastic? Probably not advisable. I suspect there would be problems with the layers not drying evenly, resulting in puckering. And if there are any stiffening agents (like heavy starching) that would likely be lost, changing the character of the fabric.[/QUOTE]
