Shirt Loops
These loops are most commonly found on dress shirts but have found their way onto many types of casual shirts, too. These rings are not just there as a stylish frill but were apparently initially designed so that a shirt could be hanged in confined quarters, like in a ship cabin. Shirts are more easily managed on a simple hook than with a hanger on a rail, so this was a feature of convenience rather than for an elegant look. It would be great to hang a gym or golf shirt on a hook in the locker, rather than in a damp pile, don’t you think? Who bothers to put them on the fiddly hanger, anyway?

Placing Soap Bars Under Sheets
This next trick has gained massive popularity lately, to the point that it even appeared on the TV show “The Doctors”. Oddly enough, many believe that slipping a bar of soap under the sheets can help with leg cramps during the night. The soap bar ions transmitted from the bar into the body’s nervous system and help ease cramps, apparently. So if you are considering moving forward with this trick, you had best place the soap bar near your feet. There is no scientific proof for this one, but plenty of people swear by it.
