SIGNAL
Language in cloth.
The Hanky Code turned colour and placement into a readable system for desire, role and scene awareness.

THE HANKY CODE
Colour, pocket placement and timing turned cloth into a shared queer signal long before platforms flattened everything into captions.
CONTEXT
Public but coded.
It worked because the right people understood it while everyone else could still miss the message entirely.
ARCHIVE NOTE
Restraint matters.
Muscle LAB treats the code as cultural memory and visual language, not costume or parody.
