Jeans buttons

Jeans buttons - application and history

Initially, metal jeans buttons were used in rough workwear and have established themselves as reliable fittings that can withstand heavy loads. This convenient and practical type of closure gets its name from how it is commonly used in jeans clothing that was originally intended as a work uniform. This was in the 19th century, when the workloads were higher and the fastener had to be held firmly so as not to fly off. Therefore, they came up with the idea of ​​literally nailing them to clothes.

Jeans buttons are made of metal - copper, brass or various alloys and decorated to suit every taste - from precious metals to rust. They are attached directly to the fabric, without the use of threads. On the front side, embossing or embossing is often performed, usually in the form of a logo or company name, but there may be coats of arms, letters and any symbols. The stud (the mating part of a jeans button) comes with a notch or smooth and must match the base, so they are usually sold in pairs.

Today the jeans button has gained wider use. It is an essential element of everyday wear and decor. Buttons for a jeans jacket, metal buttons on jeans, skirts, vests and overalls are used as fasteners. Acting as a fashion accessory, jeans buttons add decorative appeal to clothes, shoes, wallets, bags, backpacks and even upholstered furniture. They are also used as rivets to firmly fasten parts of the material to each other.

Design

A jeans button consists of two components - a button-cap and a stud-rivet. A jeans button is attached to a broken (movable) or stable leg. The first type of buttons is the most convenient to use, since it is easily and quickly fastened into a loop, while the second is characterized by increased strength and reliability. Buttons with a movable foot are installed in an industrial environment using a mechanical press with a special attachment. To install a jeans button on a stable leg, a manual lever mechanism is sufficient.

Varieties of jeans buttons

As mentioned above, there are two main types of jeans buttons: fixed and floating (broken) legs. The former are more reliable, the latter are easier to fasten. Jeans buttons differ in size (from 14 to 40 mm, although large ones are quite rare) and shape. There are round, square, oval and hexagonal buttons with sharp or sloping corners. The hat can be flat, semicircular, concave, convex and have a hole in the middle.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of jeans buttons is quick installation. This is where the main drawback comes from - you need a special press to install. Other advantages include high strength and originality, and among the weaknesses - the relative difficulty of the fastening process, especially in a new product.
