Gentlemen, Last night I was rummaging through my closet and trying to pick out a tie. In doing so, I came across a few pieces of cloth of about 20 square inches each. I remembered these pieces of cloth came with several of my suits and a jacket. The cloth is the same cloth the garment it came with is made of. I haven't thought anything of these pieces of cloth previously, but this time I started wondering why these pieces of cloth were included. Are they for repairs, are they to enable you to feel the cloth of your suit/jacket without having to stroke yourself too conspicuously? What is the purpose? I'm not sure whether the following is relevant, but perhaps it may be, so I'm mentioning it. The suits are both r-t-w and m-t-m, the jacket is m-t-m. All are by Italian 'manufacturers', Â Zegna and Corneliani to be precise. This also brings up another question, since I haven't seen such pieces included with my other (non-Italian) suits. Is the inclusion of a small piece of cloth with a garment typically Italian? Or do more 'better' 'manufacturers' include it? Thanks for any replies, MtB P.S. I did manage to chose a tie. Â
