Horn-Style Buttons

Construction — one of 70 in the glossary


Buttons moulded from resin to imitate the mottled brown tones of real animal horn. Genuine horn buttons are expensive and inconsistent, so nearly everything in the blanks catalogue described as horn is an imitation, and the spec sheet says horn-style for that reason. They read as natural and understated, which suits outdoor, workwear and heritage-styled garments. Practically they behave like any other resin button: durable in the wash, and to be kept clear of a heat press platen.
