Buttons #542 - 13 mm

These buttons held up perfectly after I accidentally left a shirt in a hot wash cycle; no cracks or fading at all. The 13mm size is exactly right for standard buttonholes, which made the swap quick and easy.

Used one set to replace the worn ones on a cardigan and they’ve held up through three washes without any loosening or cracking. The surface is smooth enough that the buttons slide through the buttonholes easily, yet they feel solid in the hand.

These 13mm buttons are sturdier than I expected—they survived a full hot water wash cycle without any cracking or fading. The material feels solid in hand, and the finish is smooth with no rough edges. Exactly what I needed for a shirt repair.
