OT? How come on a lot of men's shuirts, the button holes are oriented
vertically except for the bottom one, which is horizontal?

It's easier to do it that way in the machine that makes them.

You've lost me. It's easier to do the vertically, horizontally, or to
change for the last one?

Sewing machines make button holes parallel to the direction the
fabric travels. You can put the top of a shirt in the machine,
move it a couple inches for every buttonhole, and when you reach
the bottom you're done. If you want the last button hole perpendicular,
you can turn the shirt for that one.
