A locker loop is a loop attached to a garment or other object to make it easier to hang it up for storage, such as to hang it on a clothes hook. They are often found on clothing such as sweaters, jackets, dress shirts, etc., as well as on textiles such as towels and on some backpacks and handbags.
Loops can make it easier to hang clothes, and hanging clothes as such can prevent them from becoming wrinkled. However, clothes hangers may be preferred for delicate or valuable garments. On such garments, the loops may be intended for short-term use only.[citation needed]
The loop itself can be made of a fabric that is folded and sewn, or of a webbing strap, or of other materials such as artificial leather or metal chains. Often the loop is sewn on, but in some cases it can be attached with a button instead. The name of the clothing manufacturer or retailer is sometimes printed or woven into the loops. Personalized loops with the owner's name can be useful, especially in kindergartens.
In popular culture, the locker loop has been an iconic symbol in Ivy League fashion culture and as a relationship-status signal.
