Metal Clothing Buttons from the Archive
Metal buttons are the difference you can feel — real weight in the hand, relief detail that plastic can't hold, finishes that improve with age. This collection gathers the archive's die-cast metal sets across every finish family.
They belong on jackets, coats, blazers and anywhere quality should be tangible. All vintage 1970s–90s manufacture, matched sets, exact millimetre sizing.
Metal Clothing Buttons — Questions, Answered
Are these solid metal or plated plastic?
Solid die-cast metal alloy with quality plating — the weight tells you immediately. Listings note construction.
Will metal buttons rust?
No — die-cast alloys with plated finishes don't rust. Decades in the archive without corrosion is the proof.
Are metal buttons machine washable?
Yes — wash cold and skip bleach to protect finishes. They're more durable in laundry than most garments they're sewn to.
Which finish should I choose?
Match your hardware: gold with warm tones and brass zips, silver with cool tones. See the gold, silver and brass collections to compare.
