Loop In Back Of Shirt
Some men’s shirts have loops in the back, which you’ve probably seen. If you’re wondering what was that mysterious loop is doing there, we’ll tell you something interesting. The Navy was the first to include this feature on the backs of men’s shirts. There wasn’t much closet space when the men were at sea. Sailors wore loops on their shirts so that they could hang them on hooks to conserve space.

The craze became popular among college students in the 1960s, who used the loops in the gym. They hung their shirts on loops while working out to maintain them wrinkle-free and clean. The Gant company, seeing a profit potential, began attaching loops to the backs of their shirts in order to attract their Ivy League customers. The loop evolved into a status symbol.
Metal At End Of Measuring Tape
Most people have had the experience of being summoned to hold the end of a measuring tape by a family member or an annoying roommate. Have you ever noticed the small metal item at the beginning (technically the end) of the measuring tape? You probably have, but you haven’t considered why. The presence of metal can be attributed to a variety of reasons.

For starters, there’s a little slot that may be wrapped around a nail to help hold the measuring tape in place if no one is there to hold the other end. It’s also worth noting that the measuring tape’s edge is somewhat serrated. This is done so that you may easily mark a wall or other surface if you forget to note your measurement with a pencil behind your ear.
