Are straps hanging from a belt or garment considered a burden on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that insignificant straps (e.g., from a curtain, from a belt) are batel to the garment and permitted. Silk straps are significant and forbidden unless shoes are tied to them. Detached parts still partially attached follow the same rule: significant = forbidden, insignificant = permitted.
