frogged
Ornamental coat fastening
Frogged describes a garment fastened with frogs—ornamental closures made of looped braid or cord, typically with a button or toggle that passes through a decorative loop.
The style appears on military uniforms, Chinese jackets, and formal coats: a frogged velvet jacket, the frogged front of his band uniform.
In needlework, frogged means something was ripped out and redone—from "rip it, rip it," which sounds like a frog's croak.
