More about MB-26

MB-26 – "Square with crushed-metal effect": 2 sizes (22 mm – 34 mm), four metal colours and a shank that keeps the stitching hidden on the face side. Polkom has been making buttons for over 30 years, and "Square with crushed-metal effect" (MB-26) is part of our collection of metal shank buttons. MB-26 spans sizes from 22 mm (for the front of a jacket or cardigan) to 34 mm (for coats, outerwear and bags) – choose each size according to its place on the garment.

Design and details

The square shape with a crushed-metal effect combines a strict silhouette with an uneven, lively surface. All colours are coatings on the same metal design, so shape and relief are identical.

Colour and pairing

Choose the colour to match the fabric and the other details of the garment:

• 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.

In gold the button adds warmth and a festive touch – suitable for burgundy, camel, beige and black fabrics. In nickel the design works well on denim, grey suits and black coats, especially when the zip and snaps are also in silver-tone metal. The colour of a metal button is most convincing when it echoes the other metal accessories on the garment or bag.

Choosing the size

"Square with crushed-metal effect" is used for jackets and coats (22 mm – jackets, 34 mm – coats).

• 22 mm – jackets and cardigans
• 34 mm – a statement button on a coat or bag

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: 22 mm – approx. 25–27 mm; 34 mm – approx. 37–39 mm.
