FAQs
Do I need a sewing machine to apply these buttons?
No, these buttons are designed for no-sew application. They come with tools that allow you to attach them by simply pushing the pin through the fabric.
What kind of fabric are these buttons best suited for?
They are best suited for medium to heavy-weight fabrics, especially denim. They may not be suitable for very light or delicate materials.
How do I choose the right size button?
Prym jeans buttons come in different diameters. Measure the buttonhole or the area where you intend to attach the button on your garment to determine the appropriate size.
Can I remove and reapply the button once attached?
While possible, it is generally difficult to remove and reapply a button without potentially damaging the fabric or the button itself. It's best to ensure correct placement before final application.
Are these buttons washing machine safe?
Yes, they are generally washing machine safe. However, for best results and to preserve the finish, it is recommended to turn the garment inside out or place it in a garment bag before washing on a gentle cycle.
What does 'Antique Copper' refer to?
Antique Copper is a finish that gives the button a classic, slightly darkened, and aged appearance, which is popular for casual wear and workwear.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after application
Ensure the back pin was fully pushed through the fabric and securely fastened to the button front. If the fabric is too thick, it may prevent a full connection. Consider using a different attachment point or reinforcing the fabric.
Difficulty pushing the pin through the fabric
The fabric might be too thick for the provided tools or the button's pin. Ensure you are using firm, even pressure. For very thick denim, a small pilot hole might be beneficial, or a heavier-duty tool might be required.
The antique copper finish is scratched
Minor scratches are normal wear for an antique finish. For significant scratches, there is no easy repair. Avoid placing heavy items on the buttons or allowing them to rub against rough surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the desired button and ensure you have the correct fabric thickness.
- Place the button front on the outside of the fabric where you want it attached.
- Position the fabric over the back pin of the button.
- Use the provided tools to firmly push the pin through the fabric and into the button front until it clicks or feels secure.
Compatibility:
These buttons are primarily designed for denim and other medium to heavy-weight fabrics. They are not recommended for very thin or delicate materials, as the pin may tear the fabric or not hold securely. They are suitable for trousers, jackets, skirts, and bags made from sturdy materials.
Care:
To maintain the finish, avoid exposing the buttons to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners. For best results, hand wash garments with these buttons, or use a gentle cycle in a washing machine with buttons on the inside to minimize friction.
