How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: Choose the size that matches the garment—25 mm for coats, 22 mm for jackets, 13 mm for caps. In most cases, standard sewing or button-thread methods are used to attach these metal buttons; a tailor can fit them to uniforms or garments.

Care and notes

These metal buttons are made for durability but benefit from basic care to keep their finish and detail clear.

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could affect the gold finish.
• Store in a dry place to reduce tarnish and moisture exposure.
• Availability is limited; if you need multiple items for a uniform set, order all required sizes at once when possible.
