More about CRZ 0047

When ordering and re-ordering, always quote code CRZ 0047 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 0047 identifies exactly this design and this colour; use it when enquiring, when comparing against a sample or when looking for the right button for shirts and polos, jackets and outerwear, trousers and skirts. CRZ 0047 covers a wide range: 14L (9 mm) works well for collars and cuffs on shirts, blouses and children's clothing, while 48L (30 mm) is used for large coats, double-breasted styles and decorative accents.

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. The natural material makes each button slightly different from the others, without affecting shape or size. In a dark shade the corozo pattern is more discreet and the button looks dense and calm.

Colour and pairing

Brown buttons are the traditional choice for British-style menswear – jackets, waistcoats and wool coats. Brown is a deep warm tone from the earth palette – a classic colour for autumn and winter collections.

Suitable fabrics: tweed, corduroy, wool flannel, loden and leather. On a cardigan in cream or olive a brown button emphasises the fastening and adds cosiness. Tip: a brown button softens navy and grey clothing and is a more casual alternative to black.

Design and details

The rimless profile is flat and simple, suited to clean, modern cuts.

Choosing the size

On shirts, 18L (11.5 mm) is the standard for the placket, 14L–16L (9–10 mm) for button-down collars and cuffs, and 20L (12.5 mm) for heavier flannel and denim shirts. 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 thick fabrics, wind the thread several times under the button to form a shank – this protects the buttonhole and makes fastening easier. Guide to buttonhole length (diameter plus button thickness): 14L (9 mm) – approx. 11–12 mm; 28L (18 mm) – approx. 20–21 mm; 44L (28 mm) – approx. 30–31 mm. Make a test on the same fabric.

Frequently asked questions

Can the button be dyed in a different colour?
Yes. Besides the standard colour, the button can be dyed to a sample or to Pantone on request – contact us quoting code CRZ 0047.

Why do the buttons in one order differ slightly?
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.

What garments is the colour of CRZ 0047 suitable for?
The brown CRZ 0047 button suits autumn and winter garments – jackets, coats, cardigans; it sits tone-on-tone on camel and brown fabrics.
