Work Shirt Buttons

13mm melamine in two dozen colors

The 13mm work shirt buttons are military spec melamine, made in the USA, in more than two dozen colors matched to Carhartt, Dickies and similar workwear. A 22 pack covers the placket, collar, cuffs and pockets with spares.

Replacement Shirt Buttons

Sizes for dress and casual shirts

Shirt buttons run from about 10mm on dress shirts to 13mm on work shirts, and the packs here fix the whole shirt rather than one lucky hole. Measure a surviving button and order the match.

Built for the Laundry

Materials that outlast the shirt

Melamine is a thermoset, so it does not soften in a hot press or cloud from laundry chemicals. That is why uniform programs specify it, and why these buttons survive industrial laundering that ruins ordinary plastic.

Ten Minute Repairs

One needle, one thread, done

Sewing a shirt button takes six to eight passes through the holes, a couple of wraps underneath and a knot. With the right size and color in hand, the repair is invisible by the second wearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are shirt buttons?

Most shirt buttons run between 10mm and 13mm. Dress shirts sit at the small end, work shirts at the large. Our work shirt buttons are 13mm, the standard on uniform and workwear shirts. Measure a surviving button across its face before ordering and you cannot go wrong.

How do I sew a button on a shirt?

Double the thread, anchor a couple of stitches at the mark, and pass through the button holes six or so times, alternating hole pairs on a four hole button. Keep a little slack, wrap the thread twice beneath the button, and knot off on the back of the placket. Ten minutes, including finding the needle.

Will these fit Carhartt and Dickies shirts?

The 13mm work shirt buttons match the factory size and colors on Carhartt, Dickies and most similar workwear brands. With more than two dozen shades available, the replacement disappears into the shirt instead of announcing itself.

What is special about melamine shirt buttons?

Melamine is a thermoset material, so it does not soften or melt under heat the way ordinary plastic buttons do. It shrugs off industrial laundering, pressing and laundry chemicals, which is why uniform makers specify it. Ours are military spec and made in the USA.

Additional Information

Shirt buttons in the sizes and colors factories use, sold in packs that fix the whole shirt instead of one lucky hole. Standard shirt buttons cover dress and casual shirts, and the 13mm work shirt buttons come in more than two dozen colors matched to Carhartt, Dickies and similar workwear.

The work shirt line is the heart of this collection: military spec melamine buttons, made in the USA, that go through industrial laundering and pressing without cracking or clouding. A 22 pack covers the front placket, collar, cuffs and pockets with spares left in the bag.

Cheap shirts lose buttons, but good shirts lose them too. The difference is that a good shirt is worth ten minutes with a needle, and the right button makes the repair invisible.
