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 (check each product page for exact size options).
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.
Rainwear & Outerwear Tips (Seattle)
- Low-sheen metals (antique brass, matte black) disguise scuffs from backpacks and bike commutes.
- Reinforce heavy coats with doubled polyester thread; add a tiny backing button on the inside.
- After wet days, wipe metal finishes with a soft cloth to reduce spotting from drizzle and road spray.
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).
