Why Do Coats Have Sleeve
Buttons?

In front OF the nose were quickly
reminded of the decree by the but
tons which scratched them. And so
the buttons really had quite useful
purpose at one time, and so also all
sleeves had buttons sewed on to
them at this place. Later on, how
ever, when the unsightly. practice had
been cured and people had learned to
use handkerchiefs, the buttons re-
manned as a decoration, but their
former purpose was lost sight OF.
Then some tailor or leader of fashion
had the buttons set on the under SIDE
of me sleeves for a change. and II be-
came the fashion to have them there.

The practice OF putting buttons
on coat sleeves. which serve no use
full purpose at all and do not add to
the beauty Of the coat, is q relic of
very old days.
There was a time when people did
not use handkerchiefs. and 1t was
common practice for men to wipe
their noses on their sleeves. They
had coats also In those days, but they
did not have buttons on the sleeves.
One of the old kings finally developed
the idea of dressing his soldiers in
fancy uniforms and, as he sat in his
palace and reviewed his troops. he
noticed many of them using the
sleeves of their coats as handkerchief,
He Immediately issued a decree that
all sleeves should have row of but
tons sewed on them, but at point
directly opposite to where they are
now on the sleeves. This was done
to remind the soldiers that the sleeves
Of Eaeir beautiful uniforms were not
to be used as handkerchiefs, and those
who attempted to draw their sleeves
