This ELAN shank button offers a tidy, raised-back closure for sewing repairs, tailoring, costumes, and handmade garments that need extra thread clearance. The 15 mm (5/8 in) diameter comes carded with 3 buttons, helping you match scale on plackets, cuffs, and accessory straps without changing the drape. Sew through the rear shank with strong thread, reinforce on heavier fabrics if needed, and confirm buttonhole clearance and garment care before you finish stitching.
