Sizing & Conversion (mm ↔ lignes)

Measure the diameter across the widest point in millimetres (mm). If you work in lignes (L), use this 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. If you’re between sizes, send a photo & mm measurement—we’ll suggest the closest match.

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 fast to sew, and work well for shirts, dresses, and kidswear.

Care & Maintenance (Boston Winters)

  • Reinforce coats: use doubled polyester thread; add a tiny backing button for heavy wool.
  • Salt & moisture: wipe metal finishes after exposure to slush/salt.
  • Storage: fasten buttons before hanging to reduce thread stress.

How to Sew on a Replacement Button (and Make It Last)

  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).
