Ever Noticed The Small Loop At The Back Of Your Shirt? It’s Not For What You Think It Is

At the back of some men’s shirts, where the pleat meets the yoke, there happens to be a small loop. Ever noticed? Ever wondered what it’s there for? No? Well do notice it now. It’s there for a reason.

IN THE PAST, PEOPLE DIDN’T HAVE WARDROBE WITH RODS AND HANGERS, ALL CLOTHES WERE STORED ON PEGS OR HOOKS. THESE SMALL BUT USEFUL LITTLE LOOP WERE USED TO HANG A SHIRT, WITHOUT GETTING WRINKLES ON IT!

These little loop were originally used by East Coast sailors, who would hang their shirts on ship hooks when changing. This detail soon found itself off the ships and onto the streets. The trend started with the US made Oxford button down shirts in the 1960′s.

Later, it even became part of Ivy League dating culture. They were used to denote relationship status or to show interest. Young ladies would rip the locker loops on the shirts of boys they found cute, which would sometimes result in the shirt ripping off. Sometimes, the guy would remove his loop to show that he was already taken by his sweetheart. That way girls couldn’t run by and yank their shirt to pieces.

The trend was picked up by various other brands and continues till today. But since the arrival of wardrobes, locker loops serve no other purpose other than as a decorative design.

Man Asked His Wife If She Had Ever Been Unfaithful. But He Never Expected Her To Say This

“Martha, soon we will be married 50 years, and there’s something I have to know.

Martha replied, “Well Henry, I have to be honest with you.. Yes, I’ve been unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.”

Henry was obviously hurt by his wife’s confession, but said, “I never suspected Can you tell me what you mean by ‘good reasons’?”

Martha said, “The first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn’t pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?”

Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, “I can forgive you for that.. You saved our home, but what about the second time?”

Martha asked, “And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn’t have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge.”

“I recall that,” said Henry. “And you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.”

“All right,” Martha said. “Do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?”

Henry fainted…
