The well-made shirt can not fail to have perfect buttonholes.
The detail of the buttonholes is of an aesthetic importance of the shirt not to be underestimated and emphasizes the attention of the package.
The term "buttonhole" thought comes from the Latin word "ansula" which means cut, in fact it is actually a net cut that is edged with an eyelet where the buttons for a stable closure of the shirt will stick.
In a shirt count from 9 to 12 buttonholes are all cut vertical except the last one that is horizontal, this detail serves to better close the lacing (once had the function of being fastened to the pants to keep the shirt pulled) .
The embroidery of the buttonholes today is performed by machine with a special thread very resistant and thinner, the color is normally in the same color of the shirt but fashion has also led us to the color contrasts that according to the tastes and the occasions can also be strongly different colors.
However, being present in the front, in the cuffs, sometimes in the breast pocket and in the collar (button down), it is obvious that the buttonhole of the shirt is a detail that can not go unnoticed.
