Christ, you're the kind of person who'd start a banana from the middle too, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?
Just kidding, but I actually am curious why you find that better, it seems like begging for an off by one buttoning.
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.
And you don't end up misaligned? Is the muscle memory just that good?
pull on the collar first. square the points, and pull on the crease to get the shirt to sit right,
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.
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.
