More about CRZ 0003

When ordering and re-ordering, always quote code CRZ 0003 together with the size – that way you receive the same design in the same colour, even when a collection is sewn in several runs. Code CRZ 0003 identifies exactly this design and this colour; use it when enquiring, when comparing against a sample or when looking for the right button for jackets and outerwear. CRZ 0003 covers a wide range: 14L (9 mm) works well for collars, cuffs and fine blouses, while 48L (30 mm) is used for heavy winter coats and statement buttons.

Material

This button is made from corozo – the hard kernel of the tagua palm seed, which grows in the rainforests of South America and is known as "vegetable ivory" for its density and colour. The natural veins of the nut remain visible after processing and make every button slightly different from the next. In saturated colours corozo takes the dye evenly and the colour looks deep and vivid.

Colour and pairing

A purple button is suitable for women's coats, jackets, dresses and knitwear. Purple is a cool, deep colour with a rich character – less common in clothing and therefore memorable.

A purple button suits women's cardigans, evening jackets, dresses and children's clothing. CRZ 0003 on a cream or pink jumper stays within the same soft palette and looks harmonious. Tip: purple combines well with grey, black and cream; on purple fabric choose a slightly darker shade.

Design and details

The rim around the face makes the button fuller and protects the stitching from wear. The extra-thick body gives a more pronounced profile and a more solid feel in the hand – ideal for coats, jackets and heavy fabrics.

Choosing the size

For the front of a jacket or coat 36L–44L (22–28 mm) are most common, with smaller sizes for pockets and cuffs.

Sewing on and buttonholes

Four holes spread the load and hold the button more securely; it can be sewn with a cross stitch (X) or two parallel stitches (=). On thick fabrics, wind a thread shank under the button so that the fabric does not pucker. Guide to buttonhole length (diameter plus button thickness): 36L (22 mm) – approx. 25–27 mm; 40L (25 mm) – approx. 28–30 mm; 44L (28 mm) – approx. 31–33 mm. Make a test on the same fabric.
