Talmud for Shabbat 113:10
מאי איכא בין הך לישנא ובין הך לישנא
— Said R. Nahman b. Isaac in Rabbah b. Abbuha's name: He [the Tanna] states what is the reason. [Thus:] what is the reason that A WOMAN MAY NOT GO OUT WITH WOOL RIBBONS OR LINEN RIBBONS? Because the Sages ruled, SHE MAY NOT PERFORM RITUAL IMMERSION WHILST WEARING THEM, UNLESS SHE LOOSENS THEM. And since she may not perform ritual immersion on weekdays while wearing them, she may not go out [with them] on the Sabbath, lest she happen to need immersion by ritual law<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., if the first evening, when she is permitted to take a ritual bath after menstruation to enable her to cohabit with her husband, falls on the Sabbath.

Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat
Cahana asked Rav, may one go out with twisted chains? He told them, does one say, it is forbidden for a man to go out with his belt47Babli 57a; there permission is given to wear hollow twisted chains.? Rav Huna instructed the wife of the Head of the Diaspora to put golden felt on the wig48The translation is tentative. With the quote in Arukh (לבד 3) one reads ליבדא “felt” instead of ליברה [which might be Latin libra “pound” (of 12 oz., 345 g)]. קפיליטה is read as Latin capillitium, -ii, n. “the hair” (collective).. Rebbi Joḥanan instructed these of the House of Con to put a patch with pearls49Latin margarita, -ae, f. “pearl”. on the jacket. Rebbi Ila said, anything connected to a garment is like the garment50And unquestionably may be worn in public on the Sabbath.. And we have stated, one may go out with bells on his garment but one may not go out with bells around his neck. There are Tannaim who state that in both cases they are subject to impurity, and there are Tannaim who state that in both cases they are not subject to impurity51Babli 58a, Tosephta 5:7 (ed. Liebermann). If the bells are an intrinsic part of the garment they may become impure as garments. If they are jewelry, they may become impure as such. If they are neither garment nor jewelry they may become impure only as implements; without clappers they are not implements.. He who said, in both cases they are subject to impurity, if he made clappers for them, but he who said, in both cases they are not subject to impurity, if he did not make clappers for them. Even if he did make clappers for them they should be pure! Did not Rebbi Abbahu, Simeon bar Abba say in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Bells on a crib. Two Amoraim. One said he can move it52The crib may be rocked on the Sabbath only if the bells do not jingle. This would show that bells may have clappers and nevertheless are not designed to make a sound, which would make them non-implements and therefore impervious to impurity. to and fro, only he should make no sound. But the other said, if he made a sound it is forbidden, otherwise it is permitted. There, although they are not made for sound on the Sabbath they are made for sound on weekdays; but here if they are not made for sound either on the Sabbath or weekdays, why did he make clappers for them53Bells with clappers worn as chains always are subject to impurity. In the Babli 58b they are declared always subject to impurity, even without clappers.?
