Trends in men's clothing buttons

2022 09/29

The evolution of men's clothing buttons inherited the consistent solemn, calm characteristics of men's clothing. 20-40s, men's clothing commonly used synthetic plastics, such as "Bakelite", "celluloid" as raw materials made of buttons; 50s newly invented plastic buttons instead of the In the 1990s, with the increase in environmental awareness, countries strongly advocated the reuse of natural resources to manufacture buttons, so in addition to shell buttons and nut buttons, wood, leather, cheese, ceramics, metal, resin, urea, etc. were used to manufacture buttons. In men's clothing, there is a three-way split between resin, nut and casein buttons.

Resin buttons are called unsaturated polyester buttons, and in Japanese they are called "lamador" buttons, and in Taiwan they are called "practice buttons", and they are the most popular buttons in modern times. The buttons made by adding colour paste have the characteristics of non-discolouration, strong refractive power, heat resistance, ironing resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and so on. Therefore, resin buttons occupy an important position in women's clothing, while resin buttons in men's clothing are relatively single in style and colour. After the computer programmed laser button making machine is used for button manufacturing, it makes the laser button surface pattern and text engraving fine and perfect, which greatly enriches the cultural connotation of resin buttons as male decorative items. This is why they are so popular in men's clothing, especially in the mid-range.

The nut button, also known as the fruit button, is a button made from the shell of a palm fruit. Ecuador, South America, is one of the world's largest producers of natural button blanks, including nuts. The manufacture of nut buttons is completely different from the traditional resin button manufacturing process. They require a high level of polishing and colouring. It is characterised by its hard texture, good texture, ironing resistance and can be processed with laser engraving, and is currently the first choice for high-end men's clothing in China. But the nut buckle because of its pure natural properties make it hygroscopic, the rainy season is easy to mold, and with the use of time will have varying degrees of deterioration, become the most difficult to ensure the quality of high-grade men's clothing accessories.

Casein buttons, known as cheese buttons in China, are mainly made of protein extracted from cheese. After a special physical and chemical technology processing refined, its processing and production process, the principle is based on the principle of casein button production process developed. The new generation of casein buttons have all the advantages of nut buttons, but they are also resistant to moisture leaching and have a clear and pure colour appearance. However, because of its complex processing and manufacturing process, the cost is relatively high, so only a very few high-grade brand-name suits in China, while in Europe and the United States and Japan casein buttons have been extremely favoured by the suit.
