Audrey,
When I was growing up in the Pleistocene, my brothers told me they were
called "fairy hooks", and were there for the purpose of grabbing (and
ripping the guy's shirt, I suppose). No idea what they might be a remnant
of though. Here's some more on the phrase (scroll down to see "fruit loop"
and "fag tag"):

Subject: [h-cost] Modern shirt construction question...
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 13:11:10 -0400
Hi!
I was wondering... On modern shirts, in the center back, right below
the wide pane they use for lining the shoulders, there's very often a
little fabric loop. What is it for, or what is it an artifact of?
Thanks!
Audrey
