Material Guide: Pick the Right Button

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

Polyester / Resin / Nylon
Versatile, colour-stable, and budget-friendly—ideal for shirts, dresses, kidswear, costumes, and field wear.
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.

Sizing & Conversion (mm ↔ lignes)
Measure the diameter across the widest point. 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.
Desert Climate Tips (Heat, Dust & Sun)
- Low-sheen metals (antique brass, matte black) hide scuffs from backpacks and daily driving.
- After dusty days, wipe metal finishes with a soft cloth; occasional light polish keeps crests crisp.
- Reinforce outerwear with doubled polyester thread and a small backing button inside heavier coats or utility jackets.
- Sun care: store garments away from direct sunlight to minimize fading on dyed buttons and fabrics.

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