Faux horn buttons – also called imitation horn buttons or fake horn buttons – are among the most popular buttons in menswear and womenswear. They recreate the natural shading and veining of horn, but are uniform in colour and size, stronger and far more affordable. Polkom manufactures these buttons in top quality, in any colour and any size.
What is an imitation horn button?
It is a button made of high-quality polyester, cast in layers to achieve the depth and pattern of real horn. Unlike natural horn, with the imitation every batch is identical, the colour can be ordered to a sample, and the button withstands washing and dry cleaning. If you are looking for a natural material, see our real horn buttons.
| Imitation horn (faux horn) | Real horn | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | natural shading and veining | natural, unique pattern |
| Colours | any colour, to a sample or Pantone | natural tones |
| Consistency | identical batches | every button is different |
| Washing and dry cleaning | very resistant | need care |
