With so many people wearing similar coats, there’s always someone taking the wrong one and leaving his coat behind.
Whether is a “shayne coat” type of raincoat, a black wool coat, or a TO fur-lined hoodie, so many of our guys wear the same outerwear. And how often does it get swapped?
I got this simple idea from my neighbor and I think it’s genius!
She adds a bright colored piece of duct tape to the coat loop of each jacket or coat. When her husband is reaching for his on the shul hooks, he knows at a glance which is his. And the same for those tweens who all wear the same jackets or hoodies to school. It’s less likely for a kid to take a jacket that has a color on it that he doesn’t recognize.
If you have multiple boys wearing the same type of outerwear, maybe get each one their own color and it’ll work well for your house, too.
