The number of buttons on the front of your shirt is a function of the Top Button Placement,<\/a>\u00a0the Back Length<\/a>, and your Posture setting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buttons on Shirt Front<\/p><\/div>\n

Generally speaking, longer shirts or shirts with a higher Top Button Placement will have more shirt buttons on the front. \u00a0The exact logic is complicated to explain, so we updated the sizes interface<\/a>\u00a0to calculate and display the number of buttons that will be on the front of the shirt based on the shirt length and top button placement.<\/p>\n

As of June 4th, 2020, we updated our system to automatically adjust the distance between the buttons (not counting the collar button) based on the Top Button Placement,<\/a>\u00a0the Back Length<\/a>, and your Neck Posture setting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Button Spacing options are 3 1\/8\u2033 (3.1\u2033), 3 1\/4\u2033 (3.3\u2033) or 3 1\/2\u2033 (3.5\u2033). We dynamically change this to help maintain an optimal placement for the bottom button that is not too close or too far from the bottom of the shirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
