I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don’t understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It’s just less efficient. Explain your reasoning

    Not op, but I also start from the middle. By which I mean I go top down, but leave the top few buttons loose and then decide how high I want to button it. The muscle memory is the same for whether I’m wearing a tie or not.

        I’ve never really experienced misaligned buttons; it always felt like a movie trope, like toilet paper on your shoe.

          I have, in my life, experienced both. You had better appreciate me taking more than one for the team to maintain the averages in the face of your dereliction of embarrassment.

        So, my button shirts are flannel, but I start in the middle, too. If you get the shoulders on square and stand up straight, the buttons line up automatically. I never have errors when I button this way.
