Need an Extra Button at the Bottom of the Shirt

Problem description

When you tuck the shirt in, at the very front the two sides of the shirt tails separate and make for a gap in the shirt right below your belly button. The lack of alignment can make the shirt look sloppy.

Solution

If the last button on the shirt is above the belt, you need an extra button at the bottom of the shirt. Increasing the shirt length to the next threshold point will cause the shirt to be made with an additional button at the bottom of the shirt tail.  With Proper Cloth, the number of buttons on the front of a shirt is a function of the shirt back length, top button placement, and neck posture.  When viewing one of your saved sizes, as you change the shirt back length, top button placement, or neck posture, you will see the calculated number of buttons on the shirt front change in response.

Number of buttons on shirt front

The back length of the shirt will directly affect the number of buttons on the front. With standard Top Button Placement and a Standard Posture setting, the Back Length measurement will yield the following number of buttons on the front:

-Back length = 26 to 26.3″ has 6 buttons

-Back length = 26.4 to 29.9″ has 7 buttons

-Back length = 30.0 to 33.6″ has 8 buttons

-Back length = 33.7 to 37.1″ has 9 buttons

-Back length = 37.2 to 38.0″ has 10 buttons
