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. 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. Saturated colours soak into the material and look softer and more natural on corozo than on a plastic button of the same shade.

Colour and pairing

A blue button suits shirts, denim, children's clothing and summer jackets. Tip: a blue button contrasts nicely with white, beige and grey; on blue fabric choose a slightly darker shade.

Design and details

The raised rim frames the face, protects the thread in the holes from abrasion and gives the button a classic, finished profile. Double turning creates a two-level profile that catches the light along the edge and highlights the natural structure of the corozo. 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

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 a two-hole button the stitching runs in a single line – a clean look and quick machine sewing. 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. 25–27 mm; 40L (25 mm) – approx. 28–30 mm; 44L (28 mm) – approx. 31–33 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What buttonhole does an extra-thick button need?
A buttonhole is calculated as the diameter plus the thickness of the button, so for extra-thick designs it is 1–2 mm longer than usual. Make a test on the fabric.

What does L mean in a button size?
L (ligne) is the traditional unit for button diameter: 1L ≈ 0.635 mm, so 40L ≈ 25 mm. For CRZ 0515, for example, 16L corresponds to 10 mm.
