I often wondered what the buttons on men’s suit sleeves were for 🤔. I always thought they were useless 🙄.
I was shocked when I discovered their original purpose when they were first created 😲. The details are in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
All men’s suits, whether expensive or affordable, have buttons on the sleeves.
The interesting part is that they don’t detach and seem useless.
Many people wonder what they are for.
There is a funny story about this.
It was said that the buttons were created so soldiers wouldn’t wipe their faces with their sleeves.
There is some truth to this, but there is no evidence for this version.
But one cannot deny that the fashion for buttons came from the army.
In reality, the buttons were used to protect the fabric from wear.
Military uniforms were decorated with large cuffs.
To hold the cuffs in place, buttons were the best solution.
And to make it look elegant, a few buttons were added.
Over time, the cuffs became smaller, but the buttons continued to adorn the sleeves.
At first, they were a functional element, then simply a decoration.
Today, buttons are decorative elements.
I must admit that suits seem pretty dull without them.
