Many people have noticed that men's shirts often have a buttonhole at the back. Sew it on the front side. Not all people know why the loop is needed in this particular place. There are several versions of answers on this topic, each of which has its own explanation.
Various versions
The simplest and most obvious version is that the loop at the back is needed to hang the product. For men's shirts, it is not customary to make a loop on the wrong side, as it can be uncomfortable to wear and chafe your neck. Therefore, the location was chosen on the front side under the yoke.
Important! It is impossible to say with complete confidence about the reason for the appearance of a loop on the back of a shirt. Some of the versions have historical background.
The next statement is that the loop on the shirt remains from ancient times, when starched detachable ties and collars were worn, and the loop was used as a fastener. At that time, ties were the main decoration of men's outfits.The loop helped to hold the collar or tie so that it did not slip and kept its shape. In those days, ties were more reminiscent of modern silk scarves and scarves.
The third option is shrouded in romance. They say that shirts with similar eyelets began to appear in American stores, and instantly gained popularity among local students. It was convenient when playing sports to hang the shirt in the locker room so that it would not wrinkle. A little later, loops entered student life as symbols of romantic relationships. Young people cut them off as a sign that their hearts are occupied and they have a lover. And the girls wore scarves in the colors of their chosen one’s educational institution.
Reference! The loop on the back of a men's shirt comes in handy when you need to change clothes, but there is nowhere or anything to hang it on.
How to use a buttonhole on a shirt
Modern people see only one purpose for the loop. You can neatly hang a shirt on it if you go to the gym, or another place where you need to change clothes. If the item is not folded, but hangs on a hook, it will not wrinkle and will not lose its original appearance.
Although, at home, men still prefer to hang products on the back of a chair or in a closet on hangers. Loops on modern shirts are simply a tribute to fashion, centuries-old traditions; nowadays they simply serve as a decorative element.

To hook the leash and he wouldn’t run far.
This is a decorative element, like patches, shoulder straps (not in military uniform).
Exactly))
Maybe so that the loop on the collar would not rub the neck, it was moved outside to the back? This version seems more logical to me.
girls do their hair, I saw it in the photo. There's no point in hanging her for it if you can hang her for the badge in the name of the company.
Have you seen how trouser suspenders are fastened on the back? And before that, perhaps the loop on the back of the shirt was used for this?
if you read carefully, this is exactly what is written about) And you, poor student, the raven was counting)))
This was Vlad’s answer)
It’s very “interesting” to read four times that a shirt was hung on a loop!
Has the author outdone himself?
The loop on the collar does not rub my neck for long. The stand was knocked out from under my feet and all the inconvenience was over.
I don’t read versions, but I think first. Your intelligence did not allow you to reply to a specific thread, but created two separate posts)))
If it is for hanging a shirt, then it should be made higher, just below the collar. I think it's decor.
Stylish decoration for dudes
Well, what is this loop for anyway? The article is a hundred miles to heaven and everything is forest.
I also thought about suspenders (help)
Didn’t it occur to you to ask those who sew shirts? He showed us his conjectures here))))))
Once upon a time, someone simply sewed it on and smiled: “And then let people scratch their heads for years and think, well, why this loop?” No reason! It's just that someone made a joke!
They could have done it simply to advertise the label - as they do on some gins on the back pocket in the form of the same loop, but smaller. And it’s definitely not for hanging your pants on a hook.
Many models of sports jumpers and T-shirts from well-known manufacturers also have a loop on the outside of the collar, and it is intended for attaching the headphone wire so that it does not dangle and does not interfere with sports and active movement. It's the 21st century after all. If you don’t know something, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make sense and was done just like that, for beauty, etc.
The loop on the shirts was before the wires from gadgets)))
Or maybe suspenders were passed through it? in particular those that run along the back and split into two at the bottom and top? to fix it.
But what do shirt manufacturers say anyway? With the current desire to save on everything and everyone, for some reason they sew on this element...
So that it costs more
I specifically looked at my shirts in my closet and asked: am I the only one who doesn’t have eyelets on the back of my shirt?
The same loop is sewn on sports shoes, on track sneakers, so that when hiking, you can hang your shoes on a branch or stick or behind a tent and dry them in the sun and air. In shirts, such loops are also mainly found on sports shirts, so that they can also be removed and quickly hung up. On luxury versions that are worn to the office - I have not seen them - they need to be hung carefully on hangers so as not to wrinkle.
In a bar, a security guard got into trouble, takes him by the loop and throws him out by this loop so as not to dirty his hands on a drunk! (whose man pissed himself)
Where in Russia are such shirts sold? Or did you just repost from an imported magazine and rejoice?
The real purpose of the THIS loop is for special branded suspenders with appropriate fastening. For convenience, having freed the trousers….or… from the 4 fastenings of the suspenders, the suspenders remain on the loop, in the manufactured position
This is a perfectly correct answer. What kind of approval is that?
There are different operations in different models. Shirts are sewn on a thread, where all operations, processing time and the number of seamstresses are calculated. Therefore, this loop is made so that when moving from a more complex model to a simpler one, it simply does not disrupt the flow and takes up free time.
Look at the Ninja Turtles, they put a gentle stabbing sword in this loop. This is what real men do, and you are a tie, a scarf, a hanger...
This loop is for hanging a shirt in the bathhouse, gym and other public places. For reasons of hygiene, do not hang a shirt on other people's hangers; armpits and necks are breeding grounds for infection. For the same reasons, the loop is made on the outside.
how could the loop on the back hold the tie??
Some Marine and tactical jackets have a loop. A gaff clings to it better if a person needs to be pulled out of the water. Probably from there the legs grow
Back tie
I haven't seen this on dress shirts. Usually on uniform style shirts. I assume that the original purpose was to tie up a uniform headdress (beret, cap).
Whoever wants to do it there (manufacturer) - both in front and behind... There is nothing more to write about, but you want to? So this is graphomania.
It is possible that so that the narrow part of the tie does not dangle in front (does not protrude from under the main, wide part), it is thrown under the collar and passed through this loop. However, what was the flexibility of the hands supposed to be?
