Floral Design & Flower Shape Shank Buttons

Shank Buttons for Coats & Jackets

Shank buttons are particularly popular for coats, jackets and blazers because the raised rear loop allows the button to sit slightly proud of the fabric. This makes them a practical and decorative choice for heavier fabrics and outerwear.

Choose from traditional coat button styles, textured finishes, metallic effects, leather-look designs, wooden buttons and contemporary fashion styles to complement your fabric and garment.

Shank Buttons for Dressmaking & Tailoring

Use shank buttons to add a polished finish to tailored jackets, dresses, knitwear, cardigans and other handmade garments. Their hidden attachment point keeps the front of the button uninterrupted, allowing decorative shapes, textures and finishes to stand out.

Decorative & Fashion Shank Buttons

From unusual shapes and textured surfaces to statement colours and specialist finishes, decorative shank buttons can become an important design feature rather than simply a functional fastening. They are ideal for fashion garments, costume making, craft projects and creative textile work.

Wooden Shank Buttons

Natural and painted wooden shank buttons offer a distinctive finish for knitwear, children's clothing, rustic-inspired garments, craft projects and handmade accessories.

Replacement Shank Buttons

If you are replacing a missing coat, jacket or blazer button, browse by size and colour to help find a close match. Individual purchasing makes it easy to replace one button without needing to buy a complete set.

With over 3,200 styles available, Ribbonmoon offers an extensive selection of shank sewing buttons for dressmakers, tailors, knitters, costume makers and craft enthusiasts.
