Coat of Arms Buttons from the Archive
The coat of arms is the oldest design in buttonmaking — heraldic shields pressed into metal for uniforms and blazers for two centuries. This collection isolates the archive's true coat-of-arms dies: quartered shields, rampant beasts and knightly crests in bright gold, antique gold and silver.
These are the buttons that finish club blazers, school uniforms and traditional tailoring. Vintage 1970s–90s dies in matched sets, sized for fronts and cuffs, at about $2–3 per button.
Coat of Arms Buttons — Questions, Answered
What's the difference between a crest and a coat of arms?
Technically the crest sits atop a full coat of arms (the shield). Button trade usage blurs them — this collection is specifically shield/arms designs; see the crest collection for the broader family.
Are these for any real families or clubs?
Most vintage dies are decorative heraldry rather than registered arms — which makes them safe to wear and perfect for blazers without claiming an affiliation.
What sizes do they come in?
Typically 15 mm cuffs through 23 mm fronts. Every listing shows exact mm and most sets pair two sizes.
Can you match my club's actual crest?
Send a photo to the Button Finding Service — the unlisted archive holds many crest dies and we can often find an exact or near match.
