That might have been the mob I mentioned above.

If, by belay caps, a 'flat' cap is meant, then Henry Barber is resposible for popularising them in Oz. Why they weren't picked up earlier I dunno, most of the photos of the British climbers in the '60s showed them wearing flat caps. Henry also induced lots of people into wearing white 'painters' pants. When the 'New Wave' came along they were splattered with house paint to give them added Wow, they then moved onto stripey pants, then Claw came along and Lycra was the go :-O
