❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these buttons made from real natural horn?

A: Yes. These buttons are crafted from genuine natural horn. As a natural material, each button will have subtle variations in surface grain, sheen, and tone — this is a mark of authenticity and quality, not a defect. No two buttons are exactly identical.

Q: How many buttons come in one set?

A: Each set contains 20 buttons of your chosen size. This is typically sufficient for a full coat or jacket front, cuffs, and pocket flaps, with a few spares. For larger projects, simply add multiple sets to your cart.

Q: What is the difference between 15mm and 20mm?

A: 15mm is a standard button size suited to blazers, suit jackets, cardigans, and lighter outerwear. 20mm is a larger, more prominent button ideal for heavy overcoats, structured wool jackets, and statement outerwear. When in doubt, measure your existing buttonholes or refer to your sewing pattern's recommended size.

Q: What does "slim edge" mean?

A: A slim-edge (also called fine-edge) button has a thinner, more refined rim profile compared to a standard button. This gives the button a sleeker, more tailored appearance and ensures it lies flat against the fabric without adding bulk — especially important for fine suiting and knitwear.

Q: Can these buttons be dry cleaned or machine washed?

A: Natural horn buttons are compatible with dry cleaning, which is the recommended care method for most garments they're used on (coats, suits, wool jackets). For hand washing, use cool water and mild detergent. Avoid prolonged soaking, bleach, and high-heat tumble drying, as these can cause cracking or dulling of the horn surface.

Q: Are horn buttons durable enough for heavy coats?

A: Absolutely. Natural horn is one of the most durable button materials available and has been used in fine tailoring for centuries. The 4-hole construction provides a particularly strong attachment point, making these buttons well-suited for heavy wool coats, tweed jackets, and structured outerwear that sees regular use.

Q: Will the black color fade over time?

A: Natural horn buttons develop a beautiful patina with age and wear, which many tailors and sewists consider part of their charm. The deep black tone is inherent to the horn material and dye process. With proper care (dry cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals), the color remains rich and consistent for years.
