    Button Underneath Rear Single Vent on Mid Century Sport Coat - What is its Purpose?

    Hello all, About a year ago I purchased this mid century sport coat at an antique store. There really isn't anything special with it in particular. I'm assuming it's from the mid to late 60s due to its overall construction and the height / length of the rear vent. Which brings us to the main...

    moving a button on a suit blazer

    I read men's blogs and advice columns casually talking about moving buttons on suit blazers. I would like to move mine to give me a better line in a suit I have. How is it possible to do this without leaving an obvious stitched up button hole where the button used to be? Is moving a button a...

    How long should a button shank be?

    Hello! How long should the shank for trouser buttons be? Learned from a video on Permanent Style (here) and ended up with a ~3/16 inch (or ~1/4 inch) shank. Can post better photos, if needed. Thank you!

    Substitute for Buttons?

    Hi All- My brother-in-law was in an accident some time back, and as a result lost a lot of dexterity in his fingers to do buttons and snaps. He has gotten around this by buying shirts that are way too big, having someone button them once after laundry, and then putting them on like t-shirts...

    Triangle of Shirt/Tie Under Jacket Button(s)

    Well. I've done some looking on the vast web of knowledge and the only threads I find are dated... Like 2011 or earlier dated. So let's have a chat. Men's jeans are progressively getting lower and lower sitting and the buttons on the coats are not necessarily lowering with them. I recently...

    Buttons open or closed when machine washing shirts?

    I suppose the title sums it up. Do you close all, some, or none of the buttons on your shirt when you machine wash them (front, gauntlet, cuff)? Any other details? Collars left turned down or do you flip them up? Turnback cuffs; do you unturn them or leave them folder back on themselves?

    That button inside your dress pants

    Does anyone actually use it? It seems like overkill to have that inside button in addition to the metal clasp, outside button, and zipper. What is the purpose of that button?
