What if all pants and shirts and sweaters and jackets...things you wash in your washer...were required to have two discrete buttons to loops on them specifically purposed for serving as a means to hang them up on a clothesline?
But perhaps not t-shirts or underwear.
The reason being, is that as much as you buy clothespins, they seem to disappear? And they really don't hold clothes on the clothesline very well.
Some style so wire spring clamps work real well, but those get legs too.
But I like the idea of a shirt or pants having two discrete loops with buttons them.
Whereby you open up the button, put the loop it is holding around the clothesline and button it to the clothesline in two places.
It would save energy, because it would make it easier to facilitate drying your clothes on the line rather than the clothes dryer.
Wouldn't it be nice?
So indeed I should be able to start my own clothing line with clothes just like that! Perhaps somebody has already?
Sure you can button your jeans to the clothesline using the waste button on them, but then you still need a clothespin to make the distribution more even. But it would be better as described by me above.
