\nNo not amphibians, these frogs are garment closures and the

\nFrogs are decorative garment closures formed from loops of
\nbraid and sewn onto garments.  Like
\nToggles they eliminate the need for buttonholes.  Unlike toggles, that are usually used for heavy-weight garments,
\nfrogs are usually used on delicate fabrics or on fabrics where buttonholes may
\nfray.  Also a button element is worked into
\nthe braid on one half of  the two piece
\nclosure and the loop is integrated into the other half.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThese are beautiful embellishments for any garment, but
\nespecially blouses and jackets.  <\/span><\/div>\n
