I wonder why that is? https://www.quora.com/Why-on-most-mens-button-down-shirts-is-the-bottom-most-button-slit-horizontal-not-vertical-like-the-rest "From my research this is a vestige of when dress shirts were affixed to trousers. It prevented the shirt from riding up and kept a nice tidy appearance throughout the day. The reason it is sideways is that the stress applied was vertical (up-and-down) vs on the buttons above the stress applied is horizontal (sideways). I occasionally make these when clients ask for them, although I have only a handful ask them to be functional in terms of what I describe above. And then it's only practical for black tie formalwear. Today it is a fashion detail and has no functional value for 99% of men - which is why you see it in contrast stitching as it draws attention to this feature."
Beerball Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Today I learned that Gugny does in fact know how to use a search engine. Because of his lifelong love of trains and his deep desire to be a conductor (choo choo) I am not surprised.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 10, 2016 Author Posted June 10, 2016 TIL that since 1983 Larry Flynt has sent a delivery of porn every month to every member of Congress.
