is there any superstition or folklore concerning buttons falling off?

The buttons falling off--when buttons fall off the garment may fall off--the garment=our protection thus, an omen of a probable loss. The simplest explanation, however, is to assume that the Higher Power told the person not to buy this jacket at this time. Be well.

Ahahahaha, good one.

When i asked my grandmother about that she said it was the spirits looking to steal my clothes. Then my grandfather would say to both of us ,"

that's nonsense, it only means you'll have to sew them buttons on better and maybe use stronger thread."

Thank you,

for reminding me of them and have a pleasant day.

My mom always said it means you're going to lose money.

It does seem thats when you're most likely to be broke. When you need a new button.

Be positive, you are just getting fat :)
