What is the difference between frocks with cloth buttons and those with regular button?
September 30, 2012 9:22 am at 9:22 am #898237ChortkovParticipantI once asked my Rebbe the point of the button at the back of a frock, and he said ‘The same reason a truck has a sign on the back saying ‘LONG VEHICLE”. We came up with about five ways of explaining the response.
September 30, 2012 9:23 am at 9:23 am #898238ChortkovParticipantI think they all come with cloth buttons, and when they fall off, the wearers replace them with regular buttons, because where do you buy cloth buttons??

I think it depends if a frock is a beged shel kedusha or shel kavod. If it is a din in kedusha in separating am yisroel from goyim than cloth is preferable, since it is more distinct from levush goyim. If it is a din in kavod i.e. kovod shel torah or kovod lefnei hamokom, lhavdil like is seen by the nobel prize dinner or other upperclass events, than buttons may be preferable. As always one should ask his rebbe before he switches from one kind of frock to another. Eilu VeEilu Divrei Elokim Chayim.
