Why Do Shirts Have a Horizontal Button Hole at the Bottom?

Welcome to Further Details, a recurring column where we investigate what purpose an oft-overlooked product element actually serves. This week: the horizontal buttonhole your shirt.

As you survey your go-to Zoom shirt, take a look at the placket, the part of the shirt that has all the buttons. Each buttonhole is stitched vertically, but the last buttonhole, the one at the very bottom, is horizontal. It punctuates the shirt like a question mark, but the reason it’s there isn’t as sideways as you might think.

Like many details of shirt designs, this one was born from practicality. We turned to Chris Olberding, president of Gitman Bros. Vintage, for the answer.

“Common shirt lore is that the last hole is sewn horizontally so that button and button-hole can endure more stress from pulling,” Olberding says. “That part of the shirt would generally equate to the waist/hip area which sees more movement than the chest, per se.”

As we walk, our bodies tend to twist side to side, so most of the movement buttons experience is horizontal. This movement is more intense around our waist and hips. The horizontal orientation of the bottom buttonhole gives the button leeway to shift about, preventing it from coming undone.

Generally speaking, vertical buttonholes are more prone to buttons popping out than horizontal buttonholes. So why aren’t all the buttons horizontal? For one, vertical buttonholes are easier to fasten. They also look cleaner since the buttons are less likely to shift away from the center of the buttonhole. Since the bottom buttonhole is typically tucked in and out of view, a horizontal buttonhole doesn’t impede the shirt’s formality.

PgiamGetty Images

Even more common than a horizontal bottom buttonhole is the horizontal top buttonhole at the collar of the shirt. Employed for the same reasons, the top buttonhole also experiences more tension, especially on the occasion that you’d button it all the way to the top and pair it with a tie.

But, the thing that makes many horizontal bottom buttonholes more noticeable is contrast stitching. Traditionally, extra stitching was used to reinforce the bottom buttonhole and was done in a contrasting thread. “With many shirts being worn both tucked in and not, we decided over 12 years ago to match the color of the thread on this button-hole to the Gitman green of our label,” Olberding says.

Though many people wear shirts untucked today, partially negating the necessity of a sideways buttonhole, the feature remains in many shirt designs as both a nod to the past as well as a pinch of style.

Looking for Affordable Sneakers? Everlane’s Are Just $58

The $58 style features a cotton canvas upper that’s made from 50 percent recycled fibers, 100 percent recycled polyester laces and a natural rubber sole. It’s made to be machine washable, so if it gets too dirty, you can easily clean it.

When the shoe reaches the end of its life, it will be transformed into other materials. Everlane partnered with Debrand to ensure that 91 percent of the sneaker — its rubber sole — will be ground into equestrian flooring. The other 9 percent — the cotton canvas upper — will be remade into door mats and standing desk pads.

While the style and price are in line with other classic canvas sneakers on the market, the action to keep worn-out shoes out of landfills is fresh.

Patagonia vs. Uniqlo: Which Brand Makes Better Activity Shorts?

Welcome to Head to Head, where we size up two like products with hands-on testing to determine which one you should buy.

The best activity shorts can stand up to intense wear and handle a water-bound adventure without looking schlumpy. While many brands now offer versions of this go-anywhere style, Patagonia Baggies ($55) are the pair to beat. To see if this outdoor classic still holds up, we tested it against the Uniqlo Swim Active Shorts ($30). Our findings below.

Our Pick

Patagonia Baggies Shorts

Gerald Ortiz

Introduced over 30 years ago, these versatile shorts were designed specifically for the water, with a mesh lining for drainage, on-seam pockets for less drag and, famously, enough room in the pockets to carry two tennis balls. The simple design has gone on to become one of Patagonia’s most popular items. After hands-on testing, we think they’re the shorts to get.
Buy Now

Overall Fit

Baggies are, as the name implies, baggy. They’re not frumpy, however. If anything, they’re a classic cut that’s got enough leg room for acrobatic feats without feeling like you’re wading through a sea of fabric with every step.

The popular 5-inch inseam model sits mid-thigh and doesn’t ride up the leg. They’re also offered in a 7-inch inseam, unlike the Swim Actives.

Fabric

Like the Uniqlo Swim Active Shorts, Patagonia’s Baggies are made from an all-nylon fabric. Unlike the competition and in-line with Patagonia’s eco-modus operandi, they’re made with 100-percent recycled fabric. They also feature a water-resistant coating, which makes them quick-drying.

Gerald Ortiz

The hand is slightly less smooth than Uniqlo’s. While Uniqlo’s feel closer to something like rayon, Patagonia’s are more like an end-on-end shirting fabric. By no means are they rough, but they don’t warrant a near-silky stamp like the Swim Actives.

They’re a denser weave than Uniqlo’s and thus a bit heavier. Of course, being shorts intended for the water, they’re still plenty lightweight. That said, the density and weight give the shorts a more satisfying drape and greater durability.

Details

The rear pocket is the most visible difference between the two shorts. Patagonia’s is secured with a snap flap and are sewn inside the shorts, rather than an outward-facing patch pocket like Uniqlo’s. The design is not only slightly cleaner, it is a bit more functional, too. The mesh lining is incorporated into the rear pocket and is better at draining water than the two eyelets found on the Swim Actives. And, Patagonia places its key loop in the front right pocket. It’s a better placement because it prevents your wallet from getting scratched and its more comfortable to sit in. The drawstring is also notable; it’s a flat lace design, which is less bulky and more comfortable on the skin.

Gerald Ortiz

Price

At $55, Baggies offer a lot. Yet they’re nearly double the price of a pair of Swim Actives and it’s not like you’re getting double the features.

The Competition

Uniqlo Swim Active Shorts

Gerald Ortiz

Uniqlo’s Swim Active shorts were first introduced in summer of 2014 as a versatile pair of shorts. As the name implies, these shorts were built not just for the water but for an active lifestyle in general, much like the Patagonia Baggies. At nearly half the price of its popular competitor, it’s a worthy option to consider.

Buy Now

Overall Fit

Uniqlo’s Swim Active Shorts fit baggier than Baggies. The leg room is wider, the waist a touch looser, and they’re even slightly longer. More than that, the mesh lining is more generous.

Fabric

The lightweight nylon fabric comes in a range of colors, though no patterned options. It has a very smooth hand that feels great against the skin, and the weave is just a touch more open. This is great if you’re looking for a pair of shorts to help you survive the heat.

Gerald Ortiz

Details

Like the Baggies, the Swim Actives feature on-seam pockets, a single rear pocket, mesh lining, an elastic waist and a drawstring cord. The drawstring cord, however, faces the outside of the shorts, leaving them to hang visibly. They’re also a round cord, as opposed to the concealed and flat lace of the Baggies.

Gerald Ortiz

Gerald Ortiz

The rear pocket is also a point of difference. The Swim Actives feature a patch pocket with a welted opening and snap closure. They also feature a key loop and two eyelets for drainage. The overall design is the least minimal part of the shorts and is, perhaps, somewhat bulky, especially if you have a larger wallet coupled with a set of keys.

Price

The price is perhaps the most enticing part about the Swim Actives. At full retail, they’re just under $30, but have been seen on sale. At the discounted price, you could buy two pairs for the same price as a pair of Baggies. If your primary requirement is cost, Uniqlo’s the default brand for stylish goods.

Verdict

The Uniqlo Swim Active Shorts are stiff competition, especially given the budget-friendly price, but Baggies are just too hard to beat. The fabric of the latter feels more substantial, the fit is more accommodating and the quality has been well-documented. You’d certainly be satisfied with the Uniqlo option, particularly if you nabbed a pair on sale, but if you have the cash to upgrade, Baggies are worth the slight splurge.

Everything You Need to Know Before Buying Viberg Boots

Welcome to Brand Breakdown, a series of comprehensive yet easy-to-digest guides to your favorite companies, with insights and information you won’t find on the average About page.

In the boot world, each brand has its own fan club. Few, however, have quite the avid following of 90-year-old Canadian boot brand Viberg. And though the company first became popular with loggers, it has recently become idolized by style-conscious men, earning a fresh generation of devoted fans. We’re diving in deep to give the essential rundown on the brand, from the history to the terms, to the products.

History

Edwin Viberg immigrated to Saskatchewan in 1914 and grew up on his family’s farm. There he first encountered the craft of leatherworking. He developed a passion for the craft and opened up his own leather goods shop in 1931, later developing his skills further when a British immigrant taught him how to make shoes. From there, the Viberg boots brand was official.

The logging industry saw a boom post-WWII as Europe began to rebuild and in 1949 Viberg moved its operations to Prince George in British Columbia to serve the workers in the industry.

A logger sits mid-tree, 1931 (left); Viberg factory floor (middle); Viberg’s logging-style boots (right)

In 1970, Viberg relocated once again to Victoria, setting up its workshop along with a storefront. Shortly after settling in Victoria, Viberg introduced replaceable spikes for its logging shoes which further secured Viberg’s reputation in the thriving timber industry.

In 1989, Edwin Viberg retired and passed the company down to his son, Glen, and the direction of the brand stayed the course for the next decade. But in 2003, Viberg received an unusual request for a custom pair of boots from Japanese retailer Nepenthes. Instead of using the smooth side of the leather, Nepenthes wanted a pair of Viberg wedge-sole work boots using leather with the flesh side out. Though the non-utilitarian request seemed strange at the time, it would be the first instance that Viberg saw potential for a new direction. “Seeing that somebody in another country was interested in the boots was a shock,” says Guy Ferguson, brand director at Viberg. “We were just selling boots regionally… All of a sudden, you have a company reaching out to you from Japan. And they wanted boots that actually weren’t for working… I think it was really the first time that the context of the product had shifted. It was a thing that expanded the possibilities.”

Today, the majority of Viberg’s customers aren’t loggers. The new generation still appreciates the rugged quality the brand is known for, but they’re also conscious of style. This shift in behavior is matched by brand, now run by Edwin’s grandson Brett Viberg, with a passion for experimentation and drive for perfection. This new market has given the brand a fresh direction, one where it’s ok to take risks and push the envelope without sacrificing the craft. Ferguson notes, “Brett wants to be a brand that doesn’t sit still and is willing to innovate and willing to try new things.”

A Viberg boot, made from upcycled leather in collaboration with Japanese brand Needles.

That drive has seen the brand try unusual leathers like electric blue tumbled shell cordovan and even a see-through leather. It’s resulted in slippers, mules, and even sneakers, a far cry from the brands logging roots. Its curated crew of bootmakers allows Viberg to be nimble, which in turn allows for more experimentation. This indie mentality allows Viberg to flex its shoemaking chops in nearly every style imaginable.

While the brand used to sit on the same shelves as other heritage boot brands from the Pacific Northwest, it’s now in its own category. Today, Viberg’s craft is compared to brands like Alden and traditional English shoemakers. Every component is meticulously considered, from the exclusive and rare leathers to custom nails. “Right now, there’s a general focus on refinement,” Ferguson says. “We know that the quality is there. But we’re tweaking things and seeing if we can take the product to an even more refined category.”

Now, Viberg is an enigma in the shoe world, sitting somewhere between its workwear roots, refined cordwaining techniques and focus on experimentation. But, its products speak for themselves.

Terminology

Last: The last is a shoe form which represents the shape of the wearer’s foot and is used to shape the upper of the shoe. Many times lasts are made from wood or hard plastic. The last is what gives the shoe its shape.

Stitchdown: Stitchdown construction is a method of attaching the upper to the sole whereby the upper is stitched directly to the midsole and outsole.

Goodyear Welt: In this construction method, the upper is attached to a strip of leather, known as a welt, which is then attached to the midsole and outsole.

Shell Cordovan: A type of leather which comes from the rear quarters of a horse.

Side Wall Stitch: A method of shoe construction often seen in sneakers. Here, a rubber cup sole is fitted around the upper of the shoe and stitched directly to the upper.

Storm Welt: This is a type of Goodyear welt wherein the welt is folded in such a way that helps prevent water from seeping in between the upper and the welt.

Channeled Insole: In most Goodyear welt construction, the welt is attached to a piece of canvas which is then attached to the insole. With channeled insoles, a separate machine takes the leather insole and creates a channel which is then used instead of the canvas to attach to the welt. The result is a stronger attachment.

Toe Box: The area of the shoe from the widest part of the feet to the tip of the toes.

Instep: The area of the shoe between the ankle and the forefoot.

Fore Foot: The widest part of the foot.

Heel Counter: Located at the heel, the heel counter is a piece of rigid material (often plastic or leather) which is inserted at the heel to give the shoe stability.

Heel Drop: Shortened from “heel-to-toe drop”, this is the vertical distance between the heel and the forefoot.

Last Shapes

1004/2020

Known also as its Cantilever Last, the 1004 fits a half-size smaller than Viberg’s other lasts. It’s based on vintage orthopedic shapes to follow the natural contour of the foot. The updated version, the 2020, has the same waist and toe shape as the 1004 but forgoes the anatomical curvature. Now, most of the shoes using the Cantilever design use the updated 2020 version.

1035

The 1035 is one of Viberg’s widest-fitting lasts and is characterized by its low profile and round toe.

2030

Roomy all-around, the 2005 was built for Viberg’s Engineer and Roper-style boots, designed with a wide heel, forefoot and toe box, as well as a high instep. Size a half-size down if you have narrower feet.

Boondocker

Calling back to vintage WWII boots issued to the US Navy, the Boondocker features a reproduction of Horween’s original Natural Aniline Chromexcel roughout leather, an exclusive for the Viberg brand. It’s built upon Viberg’s 2045 last, a Munson-style last which was used for military boots, and uses an unstructured toe box stitchdown construction to attach to the natural corded rubber soles.

Derby Boot

The Derby Boot is quite similar to Viberg’s most popular boot, the Service Boot.

As the dressed up doppelganger, some Derby Boots feature blind eyelets or even tasteful gold-toned eyelets and speed hooks. It’s built on the 2020 last and comes with stitchdown construction as well as a soft kip lining.

Service Boot

The Service Boot is certainly Viberg’s most famous and most popular boot. Based on the brand’s original work boot from 1934, it’s built upon the 2030 last which itself takes its cues from Canadian military boots with its low profile and almond-shaped toe. It’s a classic work boot with Viberg’s signature stitchdown construction and has been rendered in an array of beautiful leathers from its core Chromexcel leathers to rarer shades of shell cordovan, kudu, horsehide and more. While most iterations come with a plain toes, others will have brogued cap toes.

Derby Shoe

Though the Derby Shoe was first dreamed up by founder Edwin Viberg, it didn’t see production until after his passing. The Derby Shoe was created from the original paper patterns and is perhaps the brand’s most dressy shoe, with its streamlined aesthetic and French binding. Using the 2020 last, the Derby Shoe can be seen with metal eyelets, blind eyelets, stitchdown, Goodyear and storm welt construction.

Engineer Boot

Standing at eight inches tall, the Engineer boot is a shorter version of a traditional motorcycle boot. It’s built on the 2005 last, featuring a high instep and roomy toe box. It comes with deep gussets, a heel tab, nickel roller buckles, stitchdown construction and grippy Tygum 700 soles.

Hiker

If this boot looks familiar, it might be because of its history with another famous bootmaker. Edwin Viberg traded boot patterns with Bill Danner, of the Danner shoe company back in the 1970s and still uses produces that same boot today. It features a naturally water-resistant one-piece upper, lace-to-toe design for a custom fit and stitchdown construction.

Pachena Bay

The other hiking boot in Viberg’s collection, the Pachena Bay boot was designed by Glen Viberg, after Italian hiking boots. The most noticeable difference of the Pachena Bay is the padded collar as well as the gusseted tongue.

Mule

The most relaxed of the collection, the Mule takes the Slip On’s casual nature one step further with a backless design. It’s quite elegant with its unstructured toe, wholecut upper and French binding.

Slipper

In contrast to the bulk of Viberg’s collection, the Slipper is made to collapse, literally. It’s designed after traditional travel slippers and comes with an unstructured toe box and a collapsible heel. But it’s still built to last thanks to the wholecut upper and Goodyear welted construction.

Sneaker

When Viberg made its first sneaker, it would also be the first Made in Canada sneaker. Modeled after running sneakers, it’s a classic-looking marathon sneaker that’s been given the Viberg treatment.
