25mm Basketball Texture Black Scorched Handmade Horn Buttons 2-Hole | Pack of 10

25mm Basketball Texture Black Scorched Handmade Horn Buttons – 2-Hole | Pack of 10

A button that stops you in your tracks — our 25mm Basketball Texture Black Scorched Handmade Horn Buttons take the iconic raised panel pattern of a basketball and translate it into a bold, tactile closure that is entirely unlike anything in mass production. Each button is individually handcrafted from genuine horn, scorched to a deep matte black, and carved with a basketball-inspired surface relief that creates a striking interplay of light, shadow, and texture. For coats and trousers that demand a second look.

✦ The Basketball Texture — Sculpture as Closure

The basketball panel pattern — a network of raised curved lines dividing the surface into distinct segments — is one of the most recognisable geometric forms in design. Translated into a 25mm horn button and finished in scorched black, it becomes something entirely different: a piece of wearable sculpture. The raised lines catch light from every angle, the recessed panels absorb it, and the result is a button with genuine three-dimensional presence that elevates any garment it touches.

✦ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these buttons made from real horn?

A: Yes — these are 100% genuine natural horn buttons, individually handcrafted. The basketball texture is carved into the horn face during the making process — not moulded or cast from resin. Natural variation between buttons is expected and authentic.

Q: Is the black finish painted or dyed?

A: Neither. The black finish is achieved through a scorching (heat-treatment) process applied directly to the horn surface. The colour comes from within the material rather than sitting on top of it — meaning it will not chip, flake, or peel with normal use.

Q: Will the raised texture snag on fabric or lining?

A: The raised panel lines are smooth and rounded — not sharp-edged — so they will not snag on fabric or coat lining under normal use. The 2-hole flat reverse also ensures the button sits cleanly against the fabric without catching.

Q: What size are these buttons and what garments suit them best?

A: Each button measures 25mm in diameter (approximately 1 inch). At this scale, they are best suited to heavy overcoats, structured outerwear, and trouser waistbands where a bold, statement closure is the design intent. They are not recommended for lightweight or delicate fabrics where a 25mm button would be visually or structurally disproportionate.

Q: How do I care for garments with these buttons?

A: Dry cleaning is strongly recommended. If hand washing is necessary, use cool water and a mild detergent — do not soak. Never tumble dry, as sustained heat and moisture can cause horn to warp or crack and may affect the scorched finish over time.

Q: Will all 10 buttons in the pack look identical?

A: The basketball texture pattern and size are consistent across all buttons in the pack. Because these are genuine handmade horn buttons, subtle variation in the scorched tone and surface grain between individual pieces is expected — this is a characteristic of natural horn, not a defect.

Q: Are these buttons durable enough for heavy coat fabrics?

A: Yes. Horn is a naturally dense and resilient material. At 25mm, these buttons are specifically proportioned for heavy fabrics. Use a strong waxed linen or polyester thread and sew with a thread shank on thick coat materials to allow the button to sit flat when fastened.

Q: How many buttons come in a pack?

A: Each pack contains 10 buttons — sufficient for most single coat or jacket fronts, with one spare button included.

Q: Can these be used as decorative buttons rather than functional closures?

A: Absolutely. The sculptural basketball texture and bold 25mm scale make these buttons highly effective as decorative surface embellishments on coats, bags, and statement fashion pieces — whether or not they function as working closures.

Q: Do you offer other textured or sculptural horn button designs?

A: Yes — browse our store for horn buttons in a range of carved, engraved, grooved, and plain finishes, available in natural, scorched, ash-fired, and burnished options across multiple shapes and sizes.
