More about CRZ 0033

The CRZ 0033 button is brown and made of natural corozo. Its type – with four holes – determines the sewing method described below, and the 11 available sizes range from 14L (9 mm) to 48L (30 mm). Code CRZ 0033 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. As a guide: 14L (9 mm) of CRZ 0033 sits well on collars and cuffs on shirts, blouses and children's clothing; at the other end of the range, 48L (30 mm) is for heavy winter coats and statement buttons.

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. In a dark colour corozo looks deep and rich; its natural structure remains barely perceptible.

Colour and pairing

A brown button is a classic choice for autumn and winter garments with a warm, natural character. Within the warm palette brown is a dark neutral that sits naturally next to leather, tweed and wool.

On beige, cream, olive and blue fabrics a brown button looks warm and finished. CRZ 0033 sits tone-on-tone on a camel coat and as a warm accent on a navy coat. Choose a brown button slightly darker than the fabric – that way the button line is defined without looking heavy.

Design and details

The rim around the edge makes the button look fuller and protects the thread from wear – a classic shape for jackets, coats and trousers.

Choosing the size

Outerwear usually takes a 40L (25 mm) button; 32L–36L (20–22 mm) suits lighter jackets, and 44L–48L (28–30 mm) large coats.

Sewing on and buttonholes

With four holes the button is firmly attached – suitable for areas under strain such as the front of a jacket or coat or a trouser waistband; the stitching can be crossed or parallel. For coats and heavy fabrics, leave a 2–3 mm thread shank between the button and the fabric – that way the button fastens easily and the fabric does not pucker. The buttonhole length is roughly the button diameter plus its thickness: 36L (22 mm) – approx. 24–25 mm; 40L (25 mm) – approx. 27–28 mm; 44L (28 mm) – approx. 30–31 mm.

Frequently asked questions

Will all CRZ 0033 buttons have the same pattern?
Corozo is a natural material: the veins of the kernel and the way each button takes the dye vary slightly. Size and shape are identical, and the difference in pattern is a mark of genuine corozo.

Can corozo be washed?
Corozo is a natural material that tolerates normal washing and dry cleaning; we recommend not using chlorine bleach and not soaking the buttons in hot water for long.

Which fabrics and colours does CRZ 0033 go with?
The CRZ 0033 button is brown – a classic for tweed, corduroy, flannel and leather. On beige, cream and blue fabrics it looks warm and finished.
