ELAN shank-back buttons are designed to sit slightly above the fabric, making them a practical choice for thicker materials and layered edges. This card includes 3 buttons sized 15 mm (0.59 in), ideal for cardigans, light jackets, and uniform-style closures where a raised shank helps the button clear the fabric. Stitch through the shank with strong thread, secure the back neatly, and check placement before final sewing for an even closure.
