The gig line is the straight vertical line you create by aligning the front shirt edge with the belt area and the fly of the pants. The belt buckle serves as the central reference at the waist, so when your shirt is tucked and the belt is buckled, the right edge of the shirt placket, the inner edge of the belt (and thus the buckle), and the right edge of the pants’ placket line up to produce one clean line. This anchor point is why the belt buckle is the best answer. The zipper, button, or waistband don’t provide the same fixed vertical reference across the torso to establish that uninterrupted line.
