Spats

Button hooks!

I have used a button hook for doing up the buttons below the knee on my riding breeches all my life and rest assured that you will get a snug fit when using one. If you have to struggle with a button hook and buttons it will certainly be too tight, in fact you will pull the buttons off. The trick is to have the item of clothing(gloves, spats, breeches) that needs doing up too tight to do up by hand; the hook will do the job with ease for a snug, but not uncomfortable, fit.


This thread reminds me, that just before my accident earlier this year some one asked me, in a PM, about button hooks. I am sorry that I forgot all about it 'till now! If they want to ask me again (whatever it was??!!) I will endeavour to come up with a more prompt reply!
