Hand Stitched Drill Buttons
Hand stitched drill buttons are a fastening method commonly used in clothing, particularly in garments requiring a durable and often decorative closure. They are characterized by their construction and the materials they employ.
Material:
- Button: Typically made from materials like metal (brass, steel, copper), bone, horn, glass, or various plastics. Historically, natural materials were more prevalent.
- Thread: Strong, waxed linen thread is the traditional choice, providing strength and resistance to abrasion. Synthetic threads are also used, offering varied colors and strengths.
- Fabric/Garment: Commonly used on heavier fabrics like denim, canvas, leather, and wool, but can be adapted for lighter materials.
Purpose:
- Provide a secure and often decorative closure for garments.
- Offer a robust alternative to machine-sewn buttons, particularly in applications where high stress is expected.
- Enable repair and replacement of buttons without specialized machinery.
- Historically, they were a standard method of fastening before widespread machine sewing.
Function:
The buttons function by passing through buttonholes in the opposing garment placket. The strength of the stitching and the material of the button and thread determine the overall holding power. The hand-stitching creates a dense, reinforced attachment that resists pulling and tearing. The method typically involves multiple passes of the thread through the button and fabric, creating a shank that allows the button to pass through the buttonhole easily.
Usage Scenarios:
- Outerwear: Coats, jackets, and blazers often utilize hand-stitched drill buttons for a classic and durable closure.
- Workwear: Denim jackets, canvas work pants, and other robust garments benefit from the strength of this fastening method.
- Military Uniforms: Historically, and sometimes currently, used on military uniforms due to their reliability and ease of repair in field conditions.
- High-End Fashion: Used for a bespoke, handcrafted aesthetic.
- Repairs: Commonly used to replace missing or damaged buttons on existing garments.
Common Types/Variations:
- Shank Buttons: Feature a loop (shank) on the underside for sewing. These are the most common type for hand stitching.
- Flat Buttons: Require a shank to be created during the stitching process, often by wrapping thread around the base of the button.
- Metal Buttons: Brass and steel buttons are common for their durability. Often feature embossed designs.
- Horn/Bone Buttons: Offer a natural aesthetic and are often used in higher-end garments.
- Glass Buttons: Primarily decorative, requiring careful stitching to avoid breakage.
- Post Buttons: Buttons with a post on the back, typically used with a shank created by wrapping thread around the post.
Hand stitched drill buttons fall under several potential classifications based on material and specific characteristics. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes:
- 9606296000: Buttons: Other: Other: Other. This code covers buttons not specifically classified elsewhere, potentially including hand-stitched drill buttons if they don’t fit into more defined categories. Chapter 96 covers miscellaneous manufactured articles. Heading 9606 specifically covers buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs, button molds and other parts of these articles; button blanks. The subheading 960629 covers buttons of other materials, and 9606296000 further specifies "other" buttons.
- 9606220000: Buttons: Of base metal, not covered with textile material. If the drill buttons are made of base metal and lack a textile covering, this code applies. Chapter 96 covers miscellaneous manufactured articles. Heading 9606 specifically covers buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs, button molds and other parts of these articles; button blanks. The subheading 960622 covers buttons of base metal not covered with textile material.
- 3926903300: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Beads, bugles and spangles, not strung (except temporarily) and not set; articles thereof, not elsewhere specified or included: Handbags. While primarily for handbags, this code could apply if the buttons are made of plastic and considered articles not elsewhere specified, though this is a less direct fit. Chapter 39 covers plastics and articles thereof. Heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics. The subheading 3926903300 covers beads, bugles and spangles, not strung (except temporarily) and not set; articles thereof, not elsewhere specified or included, specifically mentioning handbags.
According to the provided reference material, the HS code options related to 'hand stitched drill buttons' are limited, with only the following 3 found.
It is important to verify the material composition of the buttons. If made of base metal without textile covering, 9606220000 is most appropriate. If of other materials or not fitting the base metal description, 9606296000 may apply.
