The position therefore combines practicality with structural considerations.

Why Doesn’t the Loop Tear the Shirt?
A properly constructed locker loop is usually attached securely to the shirt.
The ends of the loop are sewn into the upper back area, often beneath or alongside the collar seam or yoke construction.
This gives the attachment additional strength.
Of course, if the loop is poorly sewn or the shirt is heavily loaded onto a sharp hook, it can still tear.
