Originally? Hanging it up when shirts didn't have an integral collar.

These days? Nothing.

The folds stop the shirt being baggy in the back and giving you that 'Regency Dandy/Jerry Seinfeld' puffy shirt look.

And why is it also known as a "fag tag"?

It's for attaching a helium balloon to so you can be found easily in a crowd. If everyone used them, life would be so much easier.

If someone wore a shirt to school with one of those tags, we used to slip a spoon in there at lunchtime, childish, but funny at the time.

It's called a "Locker Loop" and was a design feature on Oxford-style shirts that also had button-down collars. Presumably so you didn't crease the collar when hanging it up... It's an American Ivy League thang...

Isn't it so that you can be quickly dragged out of the theatre of engagement should you be injured in a fire fight?

It's for your mates to tie that fake nylon cobweb stuff to in a pub at haloween, so that when you walk out you drag the entire ceiling covering of the stuff out of the door with you.........

My mates thought it was funny, me and the bouncer didn't..........
