Why Do Coats Have Sleeve suttons1

Why Do Coats Have Sleeve Buttons?
The practice of putting buttons on
coat sleeves. which serve no useful
purpose at all and do not add to the
beauty of the coat. is a relic of very
old days.
There was time when people did
not use handkerchiefs. and II was
common practice for men 10 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 costumes and, as
he sat in his palace and reviewed his
troops, he noticed many OF them
using the sleeves of their coats as
handkerchiefs. He Immediately is
sued a decree that all sleeves should

have row Of buttons sewed on
them, but at a point directly opposite
to where they are now on the sleeves.
This was done to remind the soldiers
that the sleeves Of their beautiful
uniforms were not 10 be used as hand
kerchiefs, and those who attempted
to draw their sleeves in front Of the
nose were quickly reminded of the de-
cree by the buttons which scratched
them. And so the buttons really had
a quite useful purpose at one time,
and so also all sleeves had buttons
sewed on TO them at this place Lat
ter on, however. when the unsightly
practice had been cured and people
had learned to use handkerchiefs, the
buttons remained as 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 the sleeves for a change,
