Material

Corozo combines hardness, the ability to be finely turned and excellent dye uptake, which is why it is used for buttons on quality shirts, suits and coats. Each button has its own fine grain from the natural veining of the kernel, so no two are exactly alike – a sign of a natural material, not a defect. The dark colour subdues the veining, but the button keeps the fine natural depth of the material.

Colour and pairing

A burgundy button is a refined, warm accent for autumn and winter garments. Burgundy belongs to the dark warm palette; it looks refined and works well on dense fabrics.

Suitable fabrics: wool broadcloth, tweed, velvet, knitwear and corduroy. On a camel or beige cardigan burgundy adds depth and works well with brown leather accessories. On burgundy fabric choose a button in the same or a slightly darker shade; on cream and beige, burgundy gives a warm contrast.

Design and details

The button has a rim – a classic shape in which the thread stays tucked in the centre.

Choosing the size

For jackets and coats choose 36L–40L (22–25 mm) for the front; for heavy coats and double-breasted styles, 44L–48L (28–30 mm). On knitwear the button should match the weight of the knit – 24L–28L (15–18 mm) for chunky cardigans and 16L–20L (10–12.5 mm) for fine knits and blouses.

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 (=). For thick fabrics, wind the thread several times under the button to form a shank – this protects the buttonhole and makes fastening easier. Buttonhole – as a guide: 16L (10 mm) – approx. 12–13 mm; 36L (22 mm) – approx. 24–25 mm; 44L (28 mm) – approx. 30–31 mm. Always make a test on the actual fabric.
