FAQ

Q: What material are these buttons made of?

A: The buttons are metal with a fire-gilded finish. This process gives a durable, bright surface that helps resist wear and weather.

Q: Can I buy only pocket buttons?

A: Yes. Pocket (taschino) buttons are available separately and are slightly smaller than the jacket buttons for a matching uniform look.

Q: What is the size of the jacket button?

A: The jacket button measures 2.2 cm in diameter, a size chosen to balance visibility and subtlety on the service tunic.

Q: Will these buttons oxidize or corrode?

A: The fire-gilded finish reduces the risk of oxidation and corrosion, helping the buttons retain their appearance in normal conditions.

Q: Are they easy to attach to the uniform?

A: Yes. They are designed for a secure, ergonomic fit and should attach cleanly using the original fastening method on the jacket.

Q: Can I order a custom quantity?

A: Yes. Tutto Militare offers variable quantities so you can buy only the number of buttons you need for repairs or a full replacement.

Tip: Choose the correct button variant and quantity for your tunic—measure existing buttons or compare sizes before ordering—and check related uniform fittings to complete the look.
