Buttons on Sleeves of School Uniforms
Today, I learned the reason why buttons are put on sleeves of school uniforms.
学生服の袖ボタン
It was occurred when Napoleon’s army tried to invade Russia.
私は今日、学生服の袖にはボタンが付いている理由を知りました。
Since it was too cold, many soldiers wiped their runny nose using their sleeve.
昔、ナポレオン軍がロシアに攻め入ったときのことです。
Napoleon watched them, and angrily said something like “stop doing things like that, it’s a shame.”
あまりに寒く、多くの兵士たちが袖で鼻水を拭いたそうです。
Then he put buttons on sleeves so that they can’t wipe their nose.
それを見たナポレオンは、「みっともない」と怒りました。
