Buttons
I wish that every garment sold in stores that has buttons had an extra button sewn into an inside seam. I am always pleasantly surprised when I find a garment with an extra button like that; I think it is a mark of quality. I really hate it when I have a shirt for a few weeks and then all of a sudden I notice a button is missing! If the shirt doesn’t have a spare button sewn inside it somewhere, I usually can’t wear the shirt anymore because I can’t find a good match for the other buttons very easily.
My wife has suggested that whenever I buy a new shirt to put a dab of clear fingernail polish on the threads of the buttons. She says that will help to keep them from falling off. She even showed me where she keeps the clear nail polish! I think that’s a clever idea and I’ll try to remember to do that in the future!
