trouser waist-button vice catch

Posted by on April 10, 2005, 4:42 am

My trousers, which were tailored in Singapore, have both button and
catch-hook in the waistband at the top of the fly.

do they have different functions? Why did the tailor put in both, not
just one or the other?

I have bought pants in regular stores here in Saskatoon........far far far
from Singapore........and they have had the same thing. Only dress pants of
course, and not all of them........some of the more recent ones are the self
belt style, and those have it too, only the catch hook is usually closer to
the side seam.

Otherwise I don't know if there is a specific purpose for why the tailor in
Singapore did it. I didn't help much.

Thanks for clearing this up for me, and a good laugh!!! I have always
wondered the same thing.
