Anchor Buttons from the Archive
If the archive has a signature motif, it's the anchor — the most requested design we stock. Sixty-plus vintage anchor dies: rope-ringed classics, minimal moderns, crested naval styles, in every finish from bright gold to weathered black.
They restore peacoats, build nautical blazers, and anchor (sorry) countless craft projects. Matched sets with front-and-cuff sizing, photographed close enough to count the rope strands.
Anchor Buttons — Questions, Answered
What size anchor buttons for a peacoat?
Traditional peacoats take 25–30 mm fronts. Measure a surviving button flat across and match the mm on the listing.
Do anchor buttons come in black?
Yes — classic naval black along with gold, silver and brass. Each listing photographs its true finish.
Are these authentic navy buttons?
They're vintage commercial dies in the naval tradition rather than issued insignia — ideal for fashion, restoration and costume.
What else uses anchor buttons?
Blazers, kids' sailor outfits, denim jackets, bags and coastal craft — smaller sizes make versatile statement buttons.
