A well-made imitation is hard to tell apart from the real material, both in appearance and to the touch. Polkom offers wholesale imitation horn buttons for jackets, coats, cardigans, denim and casualwear, from stock and made to order in your colour and with your logo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor many brands this is a sensible compromise: the garment gets the classic look of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/horn-buttons\"\u003ehorn buttons\u003c\/a\u003e, while the price and batch consistency stay under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the horn effect is achieved\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe secret is in the casting. Several colours of resin are blended in a special way so that they form colour shifts and veins instead of a uniform tone. Once cured, the blanks are cut, shaped and polished. The process requires specialised machinery and experience, which is why these buttons are produced by larger manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important point: every batch has its own unique pattern. Even working to the same recipe, it is hard to reproduce exactly the same tone. That is why we recommend ordering the full quantity for a collection at once, with a small reserve for repairs and extra pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdvantages over natural horn\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLower price\u003c\/strong\u003e: more expensive than ordinary polyester buttons, but considerably more affordable than natural horn.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent batches\u003c\/strong\u003e: size, thickness and holes are identical across all buttons.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability\u003c\/strong\u003e: they withstand machine washing and dry cleaning without cracking or warping.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign freedom\u003c\/strong\u003e: thinner or heavier models, different profiles, two or four holes, or a shank.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour of your choice\u003c\/strong\u003e: from light honey tones to dark brown and black, as well as fashion colours.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes and finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eImitation horn buttons are made in standard ligne sizes (1L = 0.635 mm), usually from 16L–18L for shirts up to 36L–44L and larger for coats. The surface can be polished to a gloss, matte or a natural-looking semi-matte.
