I saw this on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy like a year ago.

Why do men never button the bottom button of your suit, sports jacket, vest or Cardigan sweater?

King Edward VII, ?Bertie?, son of Victoria (1841 ? 1910, King 1901 - 1910) was so heavy that he could not get the bottom button fastened on his vest or to be more historically kind, maybe he just forgot. His subjects taking it as a fashion statement followed his lead and today most men?s suits, sports jackets or vests are not designed to button the bottom button.
