Buttons #241 - 20 mm

Bought these to replace the flimsy buttons on a thrifted cardigan and the difference is obvious — the 20 mm size sits perfectly on the placket, and the material feels thick enough that my needle actually had to work for it. After a dozen wears and washes, none have cracked or come loose.

These survived a full winter of washing on my kid's school uniform without a single crack or lost shank. The 20 mm size is exactly right for a cardigan button band, and the finish still looks new.

I've sewn these onto a couple of shirts now and the 20 mm size is just right for standard buttonholes. The material feels sturdy and none have cracked even after plenty of handling at my machine.
