This is an intriguing use for these items!  Does anyone else have reference
for clothing-related uses of "marbles"?  I know that Native American
peoples used many objects, like thimbles and tobacco can lids, for both
function and decoration on clothing items, but I am unfamiliar with uses of
other unlikely materials, like marbles, in clothing manufacture, and my
interest is piqued.  I would love to hear more!
