Material Guide: Pick the Right Button

Metal

Durable and weighty—great for blazers, coats, and uniforms. Popular finishes: gold-tone, silver-tone, antique brass, gunmetal, matte black.

Polyester / Resin

Versatile, colour-stable, and budget-friendly—ideal for shirts, dresses, kidswear, and costumes.

Shell / Mother-of-Pearl

Elegant lustre for dress shirts and occasionwear. Avoid harsh detergents; air-dry where possible.

Wood

Warm, natural texture for knitwear and casual outerwear. Hand-wash or use a delicates bag.

Finish Guide: Matching Colour & Hardware

  • Gold-tone: warm, classic; pairs with navy/black blazers.
  • Antique brass: vintage warmth; great on camel, olive, and denim.
  • Silver-tone / Nickel: crisp, modern; suits greys and cool palettes.
  • Matte black: stealthy, contemporary; uniforms and streetwear.
  • Pearl / M.O.P. look: eveningwear, bridal, costumes.

Sizing & Conversion (mm ↔ lignes)

Measure the diameter across the widest point in millimetres (mm). If you work in lignes (L), use this quick reference:

Common Use Approx. mm Approx. lignes (L)
Shirt cuffs / collars 10–12 mm 16–19 L
Blouses / dresses 12–15 mm 19–24 L
Cardigans / knits 15–20 mm 24–32 L
Blazers (sleeve) 12–15 mm 19–24 L
Blazers (front) 18–23 mm 28–36 L
Coats / outerwear 20–30 mm 32–48 L

Rule of thumb: 1 ligne ≈ 0.635 mm. Match to the exact size options shown on each product page.

Shank vs 2/4-Hole: Which Should I Choose?

Shank buttons sit proud of the fabric and give tailored garments a refined drape—ideal for blazers and coats. 2/4-hole buttons sit flatter, are quick to sew, and work well for shirts, dresses, and kidswear.

Heat, Humidity & Travel Tips (Nashville)

  • Low-sheen metals (antique brass, matte black) disguise scuffs from guitar straps and cases.
  • Reinforce stage coats with doubled polyester thread; add a tiny backing button to handle quick changes.
  • After humid sets, wipe metal finishes with a soft cloth to reduce spotting; allow garments to dry before storage.

How to Sew on a Replacement Button

  1. Thread a needle (double the thread) and knot the tail.
  2. Anchor from the wrong side; make a few small tacks where the button sits.
  3. For 4-hole: sew in a criss-cross or parallel pattern 6–8 passes per pair.
  4. For shank: create a thread shank if needed; wrap 3–5 times to stabilize.
  5. Knot on the wrong side and secure with a tiny dab of clear fabric glue (optional).
