Tiny Tips - Topic of the day 2/1/24
What are your favorite little details? Be that details in clothing like a locker loop on a button down, or details in how you wear it like folding over your cuff on a sweater? Are there any little details you do that you haven’t noticed anyone else doing?

I love selvedge. I hate cuffing denim that doesn't have a simple selvedge line. Overlock and serge stitches just kinda stink. It's really a curse bc I'd be totally fine with cheap selvedge but that's hard to find esp on denim that's already faded/washed in a cool way.
On the flip side I find purposefully visible selvedge and most "cool" selvedge lines to be affected and silly. Like the Gustin belt loop and the multiple brands that do visible selvedge on the coin pocket
3rd button on the back of a button down because it is cute (i replace mine with corny buttons) and very helpful in getting a collar to lay right as ya air dry
oh I love that. I should replace mine with fun little buttons
Extra belt loops. 5 is too few.
I like keeping the cuffs on my jackets and sometimes even my shirts unbuttoned
Gap pre faded Selvedge isn’t the worst
Kind of a rare detail but I love it when trousers have an exposed button fly
my brain goes back to 2011 when target did those jeans that had fake selvege stitched into the bottom like 6" of some jeans.
I really hate it for what it was, but I'd love to see a fashion brand play with the same concept (JW anderson please!!!)
Little hits like this when a pattern isn’t quite what you think it is from a distance (on the black piece, these aren’t stitches but holes where the reversible interior is showing through)
I hate these and never button them 
loop though.. 
loop though.. Was talking about jean patches with @Guatemalean Toupee - fb welc. I’m not a huge fan of arcuates, but I love patches and am also pretty partial to paper patches specifically. This list was inadequate in 2019 and is now very out of date, but it does provide an excellent overview of how cool patches are on jeans. https://www.heddels.com/2014/06/the-complete-raw-denim-patch-collection/
