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!

Seriously? Wow... I was so sure it was a leftover from some weird forgotten function... Everybody I know hangs the shirt by the collar, not the loop, so the obvious didn't even occur to me... Thanks!
