Set of 5 Flat Buffalo Horn Buttons – Rustic & Polished
Two Textures in One Button
What makes these buttons truly versatile is their dual-sided design, as seen in the photos.
- Side A: Smoothly polished and dark (black to dark brown). This elegant finish is suitable for higher-status costumes, merchants, or townsfolk.
- Side B: Raw, textured, and lighter (tan/brown), resembling tree bark. This rustic side is perfect for rangers, druids, vikings, or peasant characters.
Simply choose which side to face outwards when sewing to match your character's style!

- Historical Re-enactment: Authentically fasten your shirts, gambesons, or woolen cloaks.
- LARP & Cosplay: Add a rugged touch to your fantasy outfits or leather accessories.
- Crafting: A unique addition to knitwear, bags, or DIY projects.

Care Instructions
Horn is an organic material, much like our fingernails. To prevent cracking and maintain their luster:
- Hand wash only: Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. High heat and harsh detergents can dry out and damage the horn structure.
- Maintenance: Occasionally rub the buttons with a little vegetable oil or beeswax. This nourishes the material and revitalizes the colour.
Safety Warning
