Cloth loop

A cloth loop is a loop attached to a garment or other object to make it easier to hang it up^[1] for storage, such as to hang it on a clothes hook. They are often found on clothing such as sweaters, jackets, etc., as well as on textiles such as towels and on some backpacks and handbags. A locker loop is such a loop attached to dress shirts, originally so that they could be hung in lockers without getting wrinkled.^[2][3]

Loops can make it easier to hang clothes, and hanging clothes as such can prevent them from becoming wrinkled.^[4] However, clothes hangers may be preferred for delicate or valuable garments. On such garments, the loops may be intended for short-term use only.^{[citation needed]}

The loop itself can be made of a fabric that is folded and sewn,^[5] or of a webbing strap, or of other materials such as artificial leather or metal chains. Often the loop is sewn on, but in some cases it can be attached with a button instead. The name of the clothing manufacturer or retailer is often printed or woven into the loops. Personalized loops with the owner's name can be useful, especially in kindergartens.
