ELAN shank buttons are raised-back closures that lift the button face off the fabric for sewing, alterations, and replacing missing buttons on garments and accessories. This card includes 3 shank button(s) in 12 mm (1/2 in) size to match existing buttonholes on outerwear, knitwear, uniforms, and bags, and to keep plackets consistent. Hand-sew with strong thread and test placement on a fabric scrap; reinforce heavy fabrics with a small backing button and check fit before regular wear.
