Shank Button with Antique Brass Plating for Hats
This shank button is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the antique brass plating surface, the 6 mm Width and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps hats consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is reorders that quietly changed supplier and changed the hand feel, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
