Set of 5 Round Teak Wood Buttons | 25 mm

Material and Design

Each button is crafted from Teak wood, a material prized for its strength, rot resistance, and beautiful grain. The natural honey-brown colour adds warmth to any fabric, looking exceptionally good on linen, wool, and leather. With a diameter of approximately 25 mm (1 inch), they are large enough to be handled easily, even with gloves on.

The buttons feature four drilled holes. This design allows for a much more secure attachment than standard two-hole buttons. You can fasten them using heavy-duty linen thread, waxed cord, or even thin leather thongs for a more rustic appearance. The four-hole pattern ensures the button lies flat against the fabric and resists wobbling.

Historical Context

The widespread use of buttons in the 13th and 14th centuries revolutionized European fashion, allowing clothes to be fitted more tightly to the body. While Teak is an exotic wood not native to medieval Europe, its properties make it an excellent choice for durable, high-quality gear that needs to withstand the elements. These buttons fit perfectly into High Medieval, Renaissance, and Fantasy settings.

Care Instructions

Wood is a natural material and deserves some care:

• Hand washing is recommended for garments with these buttons. Avoid harsh detergents and high-temperature machine washing.
• Occasionally rub a small amount of vegetable oil or wood polish into the buttons to keep the wood nourished and highlight the grain.
