Robin costume question

[ratcreature]

It's about Tim Drake's costume, the old one. It has these three yellow strips on the chest, which are supposedly involved in fastening the tunic, or maybe just decorative. Anyway, if he were making out with someone, who was kind of groping him and tried to reach inside the tunic, how would these strips become unfastened? On which side would they stay attached, if any? I am kind of trying to draw Tim making out with Kon, and it turns out I never thought about the logistical details of his costume, but there must be people out there who know, and have thought about undressing Tim more than I have.

So the strips would be attached to the left, because their fastening (equivalent to the button) would be on the right?

As for velcro, that has been invented in the 1940s or 50s though, hasn't it? And considering that because of the time compression in comics canonically Tim became Robin now in real time even after the comic with his first appearance was published I don't think velcro would be a technical problem.

At first I was thinking, when did Velcro come into common use?

But now I remember: since when is Bruce Wayne, or his buying habits, common?

So, yeah. Velcro.
