Question about diexie dai (belt)

I received the following question from @aarghc about diexie dai. As I'm not familiar with belt construction, perhaps some other readers might be able to provide insights?:

I'm trying to understand the structure of 蹀躞带 dié xiè dai belts. There are many pictures where the hanging straps are clearly one layer, but here (https://fuckyeahchinesefashion.tumblr.com/post/664758617722994688/%E8%B9%80%E8%BA%9E%E5%B8%A6-di%C3%A9-xi%C3%A8-dai-by-cromartie) and other places where you see them hanging pouches from the belt, the hanging straps are 2 layered. From a modern construction perspective it would make sense for there to be snaps on the hanging straps to attach to the pouches but if not, then it looks like it's just friction holding the pouches to the belts? That's now how I'd like to secure my wallet. 8-) Might you or your readers have any insights on Chinese utility belt construction? 8-)

Taoist robes can be considered a particular art form (this is true for most Chinese stuff). Daopao is a sleeved garment with center-front opening fastened with ties. Jiangyi (robe of descent) is a square, sleeveless robe with center-front opening.

Usually it’s silk or satin, embroidered with gold and silver threads. The robes are dyed in colors of the five main elements, and the embroidery follows the traditional cosmogonic motifs. The robe ornament often (not always, however) includes trigrams and Yin-Yang symbols.

Just few examples of daopao and jiangyi from MET, Murray Warner, RISD and MIA collections.

Since there's quite a lot of interest in Chinese-inspired cyberpunk and adjacent aesthetics, just wanted to share these neat "Chinese style meets the Matrix"-esque looks from popular brand 大青龙肆/Da Qing Long Si. There's also an English website here.
