She wrote: ‘Taken me 18 years to find out that the weird shoulder buttons on jackets is to hold your bag in place so it doesn’t fall off who knew’.

One mentioned that these shoulder straps are often used in military uniforms.
They were originally designed to keep back packs, ammunition pouches or bayonets from slipping off the shoulder.
Who knew?
