I always place them too high or low, to the left or right.... I have a nice wool overcoat which the manufacturers left hanging on threads - no shank at all.

With heavy convex or domed buttons on a blazer/reefer, the kind you find at Tender Buttons in Manhattan, it's important that they standup straight rather than droop. <br /><br />Happy Thoughts,<br /><br />JordanJordan Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187029720569656533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233561143856860698.post-80313510259190809822009-08-27T10:45:10.977-04:002009-08-27T10:45:10.977-04:00What type and size of thread are you using, and is...What type and size of thread are you using, and is it waxed?
