More about MB-22
When ordering, quote code MB-22, the colour and the size – so a repeat order brings the same "Sphere" button in the same finish. The MB-22 design is intended for shirts, dresses and knitwear (14 mm), jackets and cardigans (18–22 mm); choose the metal colour to suit the fabric and the other metal accessories on the garment. MB-22 spans sizes from 14 mm (for sleeves and delicate garments) to 22 mm (for jackets, cardigans and dresses) – choose each size according to its place on the garment.
Design and details
"Sphere" is a domed, ball-shaped button that sits like a pearl on shirts, dresses, knitwear and jackets. Metal gives the garment weight and a finished look – the button stands out without needing to be large.
Colour and pairing
The "Sphere" model is available in four metal colours:
- Nickel – a light silvery metal that looks good on grey, black, navy and white.
- The gold tone looks best on navy, black, burgundy and camel.
- Gun metal – a dark graphite metal, more restrained than nickel; a good choice for grey, black and olive garments and for denim.
- Shiny black – a glossy black coating for black and dark garments and eveningwear.
Shiny black looks elegant on black, navy and white fabrics and gives an evening feel. The nickel colour looks best on cool and neutral fabrics; on black it creates a clear, graphic contrast. The colour of a metal button is most convincing when it echoes the other metal accessories on the garment or bag.
Choosing the size
This model is intended for shirts, dresses and knitwear (14 mm), jackets and cardigans (18–22 mm).
- 14 mm – sleeves, shirts and blouses
- 18 mm – jackets, cardigans and dresses
- 22 mm – the front of a jacket or cardigan
Sewing on and buttonholes
The shank on the back lets the button sit upright over the buttonhole without crushing the fabric – especially practical for coats and heavy fabrics. Before cutting the buttonholes, make a test – as a guide: 14 mm – approx. 17–19 mm; 18 mm – approx. 21–23 mm; 22 mm – approx. 25–27 mm.
Frequently asked questions
Can the garment be washed with the metal buttons on?
The garment can be washed with the buttons on, but when ironing go around them or iron through a cloth, as the metal heats up. Do not clean the coating with abrasive products.
How do you sew on a shank button?
Yes, the shank lifts the button above the fabric and leaves room for the thickness of the cloth or knit – the button fastens freely.
How do I choose the colour of MB-22 to suit the fabric?
Take your cue from the other metal accessories on the garment: with a silver-tone zip – nickel, with gold-tone details – gold; gun metal and shiny black are the more discreet options.
