But there aren't any buttons on the opposite side? Are they supposed to be spares or something?

follow up question: why is there extra yarn in a little envelope attached to some shirts? ive always wondered about that, its like its there in case you need to sew up a hole or a tear or a button on or something.

You never noticed that the extra buttons are two different sizes, and are on the INSIDE of the shirt? :confused:

not only that, but my dry cleaner seems to like to heat my buttons until they crack and eventually break.

You haven't heard? Chicks dig the extra buttons. The more you have the better off you are.

Will they give me more horsepower?

Negatory. You have to remove them to get a weight reduction.
