Work Pants Buttons

17mm industrial melamine

The work pants buttons are molded melamine, made in the USA, and rated for commercial laundering and hot pressing. They are the right size for the waistbands on work trousers and heavy cotton pants.

Khakis and Chinos Buttons

15mm to match the factory button

The casual line matches the buttons sewn on Dockers and similar cotton pants, so a replacement disappears into the garment. One pack covers the pants in front of you with spares for the drawer.

Suspender Buttons

The traditional six button layout

A twelve pack of 17mm suspender buttons converts any trousers for button on braces, two pairs in front and singles at the back seam. Sewn inside the waistband, they hold the leather ends the way tailors have done it for a century.

Trouser Fly Buttons

14mm for button fly trousers

Fly buttons run smaller than waistband buttons on purpose, and these 14mm replacements match the originals on button fly trousers. Replace the missing one and its neighbors while the needle is threaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sew a button back on pants?

Double your thread, anchor a few stitches where the old button sat, and stitch through the button holes six to eight times without pulling drum tight. Wind the thread several turns around the stitches under the button to build a small stem, then knot off on the inside. The stem is what keeps the button from popping again.

What size button do I need for my pants?

Measure the old button across its face, or measure the buttonhole and add about a millimeter. Most casual and dress pants take 15mm, work pants usually take 17mm, and trouser fly buttons run 14mm. Every product in this collection lists its size, so matching is straightforward.

What are the buttons inside a waistband for suspenders called?

Those are suspender buttons, sometimes called brace buttons, and trousers that have them are often sold as brace ready. Traditional suspenders loop leather ends over six buttons, four in front and two in back. Our 17mm suspender buttons let you add them to any pair of trousers.

Will these buttons survive industrial laundering?

The work pants and suspender buttons will. They are melamine, fire retardant, made in the USA, and built for the heat, chemicals and pressing of commercial laundries. The nylon buttons for khakis and chinos are machine washable and made for normal home care.

Additional Information

Replacement pants buttons in the sizes manufacturers actually sew on: 17mm for work pants and suspenders, 15mm for khakis and chinos, 14mm for the trouser fly. A missing waistband button should not bench a good pair of pants, and with the right size and ten minutes of sewing it will not.

The work pants buttons are industrial melamine, made in the USA, and rated for commercial laundering and pressing. The casual line matches the factory buttons on Dockers and similar cotton pants. There are also traditional suspender buttons if you wear braces, and fly buttons for button fly trousers.

Most packs include a dozen or more buttons, enough to fix the pants in front of you and stock the sewing box for the next pair.
