Small things in people tell me a lot about them. When I no someone has fixed a piece of clothing they're wearing rank they have some stitching on their trousers that got ripped or a new button that was added to their shirt because they lost a button, it tells me that they're fixers, that they value things, and they don't want to throw things away and replace them.
