In the classic episode, in which businessman Malcolm Tucker breaks down on the Sabbath in Mayberry, Opie is chastized by Andy for pulling horse hairs from the lapel of his suit and trading them with Johnny Paul Jason for a penny run over by a train. Pulling the horse hairs out damages the suit. How? According to Andy it makes the suit become "soft." Men's traditionally tailored suits have a stiff lining inside the lapels and chest which helps the front and lapels retain their shape, and also gives a smooth look over the pectoral muscles. This lining fabric usually contains horse hair to make it stiff, yet flexible and able to be steamed into shape.
