Commentary for Ketubot 131:6

וכי תימא הכי נמי והתנן רקק והגיע בו הרוק ופרע ראש האשה והעביר טליתו ממנו חייב ליתן לו ארבע מאות זוז ואמר רב פפא לא שנו אלא בו אבל בבגדו פטור בבגדו לית ליה זילותא אשתו אית לה זילותא

And should you say that [the ruling] is really so, we have learned: If a man spat so that the spit fell on another person, or uncovered the head of a woman, or removed a cloak from a person he must pay four hundred zuz; and R. Papa explained: This has been taught [to apply] only [where it touched] him but if it touched his garment only [the offender] is exempt! When it comes to his garment, he is not shamed, but when it comes to his wife, he is shamed.
