Fabric covered buttons were extremely popular during the mid 19th century. We find them on many pieces of existing clothing, including numerous women's dresses and wrappers, men's civilian coats and even a dressing gown worn by Jefferson Davis. We can see them clearly in thousands of images of the time. Black velvet is the most common button mentioned in Godey's Ladies Magazine in 1863. Black silk buttons were most common on men's civilian frock coats and vests.
We offer a wide variety of sizes and styles from 16L (3/8") to 60L (1 1/2") in Black silk..
Our buttons are produced one at a time on a 19th century button covering machine using new and vintage parts.
Please inquire for other color choices, custom buttons
