New styles have arrived! I now have the AK button available in Smoke color as well as a very limited run of Midnight Blue! One of my best repeat customers put in a special request for the blue AK's. Since I was not able to order enough in that color for my bulk pricing, the few shirt sets I do have available are going to be priced higher. I still have stock of all my other MOP button offerings below as well.
Style 1: The "AK"
These buttons are considered by many to be the ultimate Mother of Pearl button for size 18L due to the thickness, shape and shine! I have dubbed this the "AK" as it is the same button used by famed shirtmaker Alex Kabbaz!! Note the curved, saucer-like bottom and the design of the wider rim on the top.
The Smoke and Blue AK's are available in sizes 18L and 16L only (no 14L).
The specs for all the AK buttons are the same: 18L are 3.5mm thick, the 16L are 3.2mm thick and the 14L are 2.8mm thick.
Sizes 14 to 18L:
18L White profile:
Smoke 18L:
Just put some smoke AK's on a sport shirt of mine, it may be a little out of the box for most SF'ers but hey it's a casual shirt after all!
Blue 18L:
AK's:
AK Trifecta:
The White "AK" button is available at $1.85 for 18L, $1.55 for 16L and $1.45 for 14L.
The Smoke "AK" button is available at $2.00 for 18L and $1.70 for 16L.
The Blue "AK" button is available at $2.50 for 18L and $2.35 for 16L. (limited qtys)
There are many ways to configure your shirt when using size 18L buttons so there isn't really a "standard" setup. Most seem to prefer a total of 8pcs 18L (for the front placket and cuffs) and 3pcs 16L (one for the collar and two for the forearm sleeves). If you have any questions, just send me a message!
Style 2: The Standard
The other style is the standard, very thick and beautiful MOP button with a smooth surface. The most popular shirt set configuration is 9pcs 16L (6 on the front placket, one for the collar and two for the cuffs) and 2pcs 14L (forearm sleeves). For a button-down collar, simply add in two extra 14L's.
The natural shiny white MOP and the smoke color MOP have the same specs:
size 16L is 4.00mm thick and size 14L is 3.5mm thick.
Original White:
Smoke:
The white Mother of Pearl buttons are available at $1.75 -> 1.65 per button.
The smoke Mother of Pearl buttons are available at $1.90 -> 1.75 per button.
Paypal and Google Checkout approved; please PM me for details.
Shipping is FREE for CONUS and only $1.50 to anywhere else in the world! All orders are shipped in the same high quality packaging and are sent via USPS First Class mail.
I guarantee that you will love these buttons as much as I do. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, simply return them safely to me and I will refund 110% of your money. I am that confident that these are absolutely among the best buttons in the world.
cheers,
Sean Paul
