Types of Jeans Fasteners
If the torn button is not lost, then take it to the store and buy the same one. Denim fasteners can have the following diameter sizes:
- 14 mm.
- 17 mm.
- 19 mm.
- 20 mm.
- 22 mm.
- 25 mm.
- 26 mm.
- 30 mm.
- 40 mm.
Important! If the button is lost, measure the length and height of the loop to approximately determine the diameter and height of the fastener.
Depending on the type, denim fasteners can be installed on a special nail (hairpin). Jeans carnations can be of the following varieties:
- Smooth all metal. The length of the standard part is 10-12 mm.
- Smooth tubular metal. The length of the tubular product is 8 mm.
- With a circular notch.
Important! To put a button on jeans with your own hands, nails made of aluminum are most suitable. They are easy to process and are as strong as steel ones.
Depending on the type of fastener for denim, there are:
- On a stable leg without a central hole. As a rule, the metal shell of the button is filled with impact-resistant plastic. This fastener is installed on a nail with a circular notch. Rivets on a stable rod are the most durable and easiest to install.
- On a stable leg with a recess. Fastener manufacturers recommend installing them on smooth studs (all-metal or tubular). However, installing a button on jeans using solid metal studs is quite difficult, as it requires precise alignment. Therefore, it is better to use parts with a circular notch.
- On a broken leg without a hole. The button is installed on a denim pin with a smooth shaft or on a metal tubular nail.
- On a broken rod with a hole. This type of rivet is installed on a smooth all-metal or tubular denim nail.
- On a double heel. A distinctive feature of the part is the solid bottom of the leg, which is pierced with a double nail. The hairpin antennae are subsequently bent towards each other. The disadvantage of such fasteners is that one of the fastening tendrils often breaks off.
Varieties
Clothes buttons differ in the material they are made of:
- metal;
- plastic.
According to the method of fastening they can be:
- installation - secured using special tools;
- sewn - to attach them you need a thread and a needle.
Depending on their form, purpose and application, they are divided into:
- simple;
- s-shaped;
- shirts;
- magnetic;
- clasp;
- holsters;
- straps;
- tablet
O-shaped
The most common type of buttons is o-shaped. They are called simple, ring or flight, because the fastener first appeared on jackets and overalls of pilots. The design is not complicated and consists of two metal parts that fit tightly into one another. The upper component has a spring fastening.
Simple buttons are used both on different types of everyday clothing and on specialized textiles.
S-shaped
This type is of the spring type. One of the parts resembles the letter “S”, which is why they are called s-shaped. Depending on the size they are divided into several types:
- uniform - the size of the top ranges from 27 to 40 mm;
- article - half the size of the uniform;
- anorak - compact size;
- mini anorak - the upper part is less than 8 mm.
The shape of the top is varied - from flat and round to diamond-shaped, square, drop-shaped. They are fixed by sewing or fastening. The large spring allows it to withstand heavy loads.
Shirt
Shirt-type buttons differ from regular ones in the way they are fastened - not with a single pin, but thanks to 6-8 spikes. The design allows fastening fasteners on fabrics of light density. They are suitable for children's clothes, knitwear and knitted clothes, light summer jackets.
The devices are convenient to use, but quite expensive to manufacture. During installation, the material is pierced with spikes located on the ring. Their diameter varies from 9.5 mm to 40 mm. The largest ones are used on jackets.
Magnetic
Self-fastening magnetic fasteners are most often used in household products - bags, outerwear, wallets. They are convenient to use, but they are expensive to produce. The connection strength thanks to the magnet is high, and it is very easy to unfasten even with one hand. The magnetic button device includes four parts - two bases and the same number of mounting flanges. The magnet allows you to automatically select the position and close. The larger the fastener size, the greater the connection force.
Koburnaya
This type has another name - tablet. They have been produced since the times of the USSR, when they were necessary for fastening military haberdashery. The lower part of the structure is very similar to the part of the s-shaped device. The top of the lock is hollow inside, petal-shaped. Its size is 12 mm. When the button is fastened, it expands and contracts. Most often, the fasteners are nickel-plated, but they can have two more color variations - black and brown.
Clamp or block
On the cover of the clamp or block button there is a ring fastening. This is the main distinguishing feature of the clasp. Through the hole in its upper part you can see the fasteners. It is similar to a similar s-shaped part, but is significantly larger in size. The most common clasp sizes are 8-21 mm.
How to install a button on jeans?
Each type of fastener requires its own approach to installation. However, there are many similarities in repair methods.
- It is very difficult to make a button on jeans if it has a convex or concave top shape. With the inevitable hammer blows on such a part, its shape may change, and not for the better. We recommend not to buy such rivets at all or to install them in a special workshop.
- Immediately choose a set consisting of a button and a stud for denim.
- If the pin is longer than necessary, it can be cut or bitten off using a side cutter or pliers. Or you can put a gasket under it on the wrong side.
- Before attaching the button to the material, you need to decide and mark its future location.
- Make punctures for nails with a punch, an awl, or a thick needle so that the sharp ends of the hairpin do not cause puffs.
- All types of pins are inserted into the recess from the wrong side of the fabric, and the button itself is adjusted from the front.
- It is best to fasten a rivet by hand without a central notch and on a nail with a circular notch.
How to restore damaged
If the metal button has stopped performing its function and is constantly coming undone, a regular hammer can help.
To do this, the convex part of the fastener is placed on a hard surface and blows are carefully applied, slightly flattening the “bump”. After each blow, you must try to fasten
Once the fixation is secure, the goal is achieved.
The plastic fastener can be repaired using an iron, tracing paper or foil. To do this, cover the convex part with foil or tracing paper and melt it a little. After the plastic hardens, try to fasten it. You can correct the melted edges of the button using a nail file.
How to insert a button into jeans - installation methods
Having understood a little about the basic rules for performing this work and possible variations of fasteners, let’s look at how to repair a button on jeans, depending on its type.
Rivet on a stable rod without hole
The easiest way at home is to put a flat button without a notch and on a hairpin with a circular notch.
Proceed as follows:
- Decide and mark the location of the fastener.
- At the installation site, pierce the fabric with a hand punch, awl or nail.
- Insert a nail into the hole on the wrong side of the fabric.
- Place the button head on the pin on the front side. The button will be installed evenly and correctly if the nail enters the hole in a strictly vertical line.
- Press the button head against a horizontal hard surface.
- Hit the head of the stud with a hammer, driving it into the clasp. The blow must be clearly directed, but not with all force, so as not to damage the part.
Important! Plastic-backed buttons without a metal shell require special attention during installation. When hammering in a stud, precise alignment must be observed, otherwise the rivet may simply break. It’s better not to purchase such parts so as not to take risks.
Denim rivet (with hole) on a stable leg
Such buttons are installed in the same way as the previous type, but with some additions:
- If the special nail has a circular notch, then hammer it in and the fastener will be attached to the fabric - just like a button without a central notch.
- If the studs are solid metal or hollow tubular, then they will easily fit into the hole on the support, just insert them there. If the nail “fits” into the hole with difficulty, then push it with a hammer.
After installation, the tip of the pin must be flattened:
- Use pliers to shorten the smooth nail to the required length.
- Place a flat metal object, such as a hammer, under the button on the wrong side.
- Insert a bolt of suitable diameter (for example, 5 mm) into the recess on the front side of the part.
- Give the nail a few blows with a hammer to flatten the top.
- The pin will spread out and secure.
Denim buttons (without hole) with a broken leg
Place the button on your jeans on a smooth wooden surface. Since it is difficult to maintain alignment when driving a special nail with a hammer, you may additionally need:
- A tube with an internal diameter of 9-10 mm and a length of 0.3-0.4 cm. If you have a socket wrench (9 mm in diameter), then use it.
- A bolt with a smooth head with a diameter of 9 mm and a length of 0.6 cm.
Install the rivet as follows:
- If you are attaching the button to a metal tubular nail, then use a 10 mm diameter tube or a socket wrench.
- Drive the stud in with a hammer.
- Install the button cap.
- Tug and check the installed product.
Important! Consider the length of a standard nail depending on the thickness of the fabric where the fastener is installed. The thinner the fabric, the shorter its length should be. If necessary, shorten the nail using pliers.
Denim buttons (with hole) on a broken support
Buttons are usually installed on a solid aluminum or metal tubular nail. Work on a flat metal or wooden surface:
- Punch the fabric at the installation site with a punch, awl or thick needle.
- Insert the special pin.
- If it is long, then bite off the excess with pliers.
- File the top of the nail.
- Insert the rivet head.
- Insert a bolt of suitable diameter into the hole on the front side of the part.
- Hit the nail a few times with a hammer to flatten the top, thereby securing it in the recess.
Important! To make it easier for you to make a button on your jeans, consider these tips:
- If the nail is smooth with a tube-shaped top, then its upper part must first be “turned around” with a dowel with a cone-shaped end (or something similar). After the tube top has its petals spread out to the sides, hit the bolt inserted into the hole of the button to secure the pin.
- The installation process can be simplified if you use a denim nail with a circular notch. In this case, it is necessary to hammer in the pin in the same way as in the case of a button on a stable leg.
Double heel buttons
Installing this type of rivet manually is quite simple:
- Using an awl, punch two holes on the back of the button.
- Pierce the fabric with a nail.
- Place a rivet cap on a denim nail.
- Bend the ends of the pins into the buttons with a narrow screwdriver.
Restoring denim buttons. | club-snap.su
Nothing lasts forever, including denim buttons.
The button itself is intact and undamaged, but the fastening point has come loose or the fastening nail has broken off and the button has fallen out. It's good that I didn't get lost. Let's help your favorite denim button return to its place. Option A: Denim button on a stable cast metal leg. The base of the denim stud broke off. We clamp the button with pliers and carefully drill out the remains of the denim stud with an electric drill. Drill Ø 2mm.
Result - the remaining cloves were removed
The denim button is ready to be reinstalled.
We do the same with a plastic button in a metal shell with a broken fastening. The shaft of the denim stud remained inside the button shank. We drill it out with an electric drill. Result. If the inner hole turns out to be a little larger than a denim stud, don’t worry. Using a toothpick or match, fill the hole or use a piece from a holniten Ø 9mm. Then carefully install the button. — If a denim button simply fell out due to the destruction of the fabric, and the denim stud remained inside the button, proceed as follows: A. Drill out the old denim stud. First, we use a center punch to make a notch for the drill. We clamp it with pliers and carefully drill it out with an electric drill. Continue as described above.B. We take out the denim nail using two side cutters: One side cutter works as a support, the second as a lever Result Next: install as described above.
Attention: You should not use this method of removing a denim stud on buttons with a broken stem; you will get this result: Buttons with a broken stem can only be restored using an electric drill. Next, install in the manner described above. We also drill denim buttons made of cast metal with a through hole, and depending on the diameter of the internal hole, install them either on a holnitene part or on a tubular denim-holnitene stud. The fact is that when compressed, these parts increase in volume and firmly fix the denim button. In the absence of these parts, you will have to use a simple denim nail or which is not advisable, since it does not guarantee a strong fixation of the denim button. Denim buttons with a through hole made of thin metal are difficult to repair
You need to drill the hole very carefully so as not to touch the walls of the button. You cannot press the button itself too hard so as not to damage it. Etc. Therefore, in most cases, it is easier to install a new button than to repair an old one. But if the need arises to restore an old denim button, then you will successfully cope with this task. Please note: For ease of work, purchase side cutters with the cheeks as flat as possible, such as in the photo. Unfortunately, most of the side cutters on sale are these side cutters, with a deep notch. You will have to remove excess metal on a grinding wheel and make the surface of the side cutter flat

— There is often a need to rearrange denim buttons.
For example: in order to reduce the volume of a jacket cuff or increase (decrease) the volume of jeans in the belt. Carefully remove the button, being careful not to damage the fabric. If the denim stud does not want to come out, we bite it, then drill out the remaining stud. Punch a hole in the marking area and install the button. We cover the place where the denim button was previously installed with a suitable color and size holniten.

Rivets for clothing are an inconspicuous but irreplaceable element of every item, from sheepskin coats, fur coats and jackets to underwear. Even expensive branded clothing is often equipped with low-quality fittings: clips, hooks, zippers. Very often, decorative rivets come off, and an expensive item becomes unwearable. In order not to seek help from a clothing repair shop, you need to learn how to work with a variety of sewing accessories yourself.
Additional tips and tricks
On these clothes, fasteners with a broken rod are often damaged. Such products are constantly subjected to high loads. As a result, they simply fly off the rod. This is considered their main disadvantage.
To change the rivet, first of all, you will have to get rid of its remains. The procedure can be carried out using a side cutter. You are also allowed to use pliers. It is recommended to remove residues in one motion. You can install a new rivet using standard technology.
In this case, you should follow these recommendations:
- If the fabric is not damaged, you can purchase new accessories, then place the button stem in the recess and place the metal cap on top. Then turn the clothes over and press the hat to the table. The surface must be smooth and hard. After this, hit the rod well with a hammer. This will help secure it.
- If the fabric is damaged in the area where the rivet is located, it is recommended to first make a patch. It is made of denim material to cover the problem area well. The patch should be sewn manually or by machine. Then it is recommended to install the rivet.
If the rivets do not hold well or are constantly lost, you should choose an ordinary button. This should be done very carefully. The button must match the size of the eyelet. A piece that is too small will not securely hold the jeans buttoned up, and a piece that is too large will cause daily discomfort.
Repairing a button on jeans is fairly easy. However, first of all, it is recommended to determine the type of fittings and select the best option. After this, you need to select the type of repair and strictly adhere to the required sequence of actions.

Device and types of buttons
A common feature of denim buttons is metal pins (rods) with a cap, which are driven into the leg of the button and are:
With one or more notches; smooth, without notches, all-metal; without notches, hollow inside.
Metal - aluminum or steel. Aluminum pins are much easier to work with, and they are as strong as steel pins. A set of buttons and pins costs from five rubles. The legs and heads of the buttons themselves vary in configuration. The method and complexity of their installation depends on this.
If there is no previous practice, for self-replacement you should buy buttons with stable, fixed legs. The easiest way to install buttons is with a straight, stable stem and a hollow metal body filled with special plastic. The notched pin is easily driven into the filling and holds securely, the button does not dangle. Hollow aluminum buttons without filler have much thicker stem walls. A rod with several notches is driven into them tighter, fits less tightly, and the button can dangle. The body of the button is completely plastic, and only the front part is trimmed with metal. When hammering a pin, there is a risk that the leg may split. Such fittings are installed with great care. Buttons with a through hole in the head and leg, according to the rules, are placed on smooth solid or hollow pins, which are riveted inside the hole. It is difficult to do this without a special tool, so it is better to use a short pin with several notches from another kit. In buttons with a broken (slightly inclined) stem, with a through hole or not, a smooth steel pin is driven in and riveted with noticeable effort. It is difficult to handle such fittings without the proper tools, maintaining perfect alignment of the rod. Using a notched pin positioned absolutely exactly at the moment of impact, the button can be successfully changed independently. True, at the end of the work the angle of the cap may disappear. The front side of the buttons can be voluminous, semicircular, or have rhinestones on it. Then, in order not to damage and to ensure that the surface is exactly the same, the button at the moment of driving in the pin is placed not on a plane, but on a suitable ring. This could be a round depression in the middle of the pliers, a large washer from a nut, or a hole made with a nail on a wooden board where the rhinestone will fit.
Replacing Double Foot Buttons
Such fittings do not have holes, so you will need to make them yourself. Here you can use an awl or a regular nail.
The sequence of work is as follows:
- Punch a couple of holes in the fabric where the spike legs will be inserted.
- Put the hat on the leg.
- Bend the ends of the spikes inward through the through hole on the cap. This is done using a regular screwdriver.
- Secure the button using a bolt according to the method already described.
Installing a button
If there is a broken pin left on the waistband of your jeans, you must carefully remove it by biting off the remains with side cutters or the biting part of the pliers. The rod cap can then be easily removed.
Place the button face down on a wooden block, plank or kitchen board. A pin is inserted into the previous hole on the waistband of the jeans so that its head is on the wrong side. The sharp part of the rod is inserted into the leg of the button and driven in with a hammer. You need to hammer in the pin by hitting its head not with one strong blow, but with several small, not sweeping ones. It is very important that the position of the rod is vertical, without distortion.
What to do if there is no spare button
If you don’t want to look for a new rivet, and don’t have the means to turn to professional craftsmen, it is permissible to use an ordinary button instead of special fittings. It is recommended to ensure that it matches the style of the jeans and matches the diameter of the loop.
To carry out the procedure, you should perform the following steps:
- First of all, it is recommended to remove the old rivet.
- After this, the hole from it should be carefully mended. This should leave no unsightly holes.
- Sew a button next to it. It is best to use fittings on a leg.
Sometimes this type of fastener is fixed much more securely and looks much more attractive compared to standard metal rivets.
Patch
When the entire button falls out and there is a hole in its place, you need to make a patch. A circle of smaller diameter than the width of the belt is cut out of a thick piece of leather. In the middle of the leather patch, a hole is pierced with an awl or a thin nail, a pin is threaded through it, onto which a button is then placed. The patch remains on the inside of the belt. You can grab it with threads so that it doesn’t curl up later. But this is optional.
Figuring out how to fix a button on jeans is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Typically, denim trousers are fitted with durable metal rivets. They are able to stay put for a long time, but if trouble does occur, do not rush to get upset. You can repair the product at home.
First you need to assess the damage. It happens that a rivet button not only flies off, but comes out “with meat”. As a result, there remains a hole in the belt that will need to be sewn up. To do this, you need to cut a small patch from a piece of denim that is similar in color to your trousers. We close the damaged area on both sides and stitch it thoroughly. This can be done manually or by machine.
If the metal rivet from the jeans is not lost and both parts are preserved, you can reuse the product. Otherwise, you will have to buy a new button to fix your pants. They are inexpensive and sold in any sewing store - consultants will always help you choose the right one. The set itself consists of a cap and a stem. The hat buttons can be one-piece or composite. As practice shows, the first option is preferable, since it breaks less often.
If you do not want to put a rivet on your jeans, you can use a regular button that is sewn on with thread. This simple option will help you quickly fix your pants and save time. But for reliability, it is still recommended to purchase a special metal rivet for jeans.
What you need to install or repair buttons on clothes
Before starting work, you should prepare:
- awl - as an auxiliary tool for marking holes and rolling edges;
- a set of punches - to create a neat hole in the fabric;
- pliers - for securing the fastener;
- hammer - to secure the structure;
- anvil - for placing a rivet on it.
It is best to purchase them from a professional store, since the quality of the tools must be high. Otherwise, damage to the buttons or their unreliable fastening is inevitable.
The durability of the tongs depends on the metal.
When purchasing, you should pay attention to whether they bend so that there are no problems in the future. If you don’t have a special tool, you can get by with a minimal set that can be found in any home:
- pliers;
- hammer;
- punch or screwdriver;
- metal knitting needle;
- wooden block;
- rubber.
If you need to sew on a button, you will need a needle and thread that matches the color of your clothing.
Algorithm of actions
To fix a button on jeans, you will need: pliers, a hammer, a patch, a block of wood and an awl. All manipulations should be performed in a well-lit room. If you want to change the button to another place, making the belt looser or tighter, cut the leg with pliers and remove it from the inside. If there is a hole in the fabric, sew a patch there or carefully mend it.
- ⦁ Determine the location on the belt where the new metal button will be located. Mark it with chalk or a bar of soap.
- ⦁ Make a puncture at the attachment point with an awl, placing a wooden block under the material.
- ⦁ Insert the leg into the denim from the wrong side.
- ⦁ Place the button head on the stem and gently tap it with a hammer.
- ⦁ Pull the button by the cap and make sure that it is firmly connected to the stem.
If the new metal button is too large, you will need to trim the buttonhole a little. This can be done with a regular knife or scissors. If the button is too small, the loop can be narrowed by hemming it on one side.
To remake a button on jeans, we recommend choosing a rivet with a flat head. The stores also have rounded options, including those decorated with rhinestones. However, they may fall apart when tapped with a hammer, and the work will have to start again. If you don’t want to repair pants yourself or don’t have the necessary tools at your disposal, you can entrust this task to professionals. In the studio, specialists will quickly mend the hole in the fabric and easily install a new metal button.
How to install a denim button manually on jeans? How to remove a button on jeans?
Sizes (diameter) of denim buttons: 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, 20mm, 22mm, 25mm, 26mm, 30mm, 40mm. (Important when selecting a button for a buttonhole on a product) Depending on the type of denim button, it is installed on a special denim stud: a) with a circular notch, b) smooth all-metal, c) smooth tubular metal For manual installation, denim studs made of aluminum are more suitable , try to use only them. They are easy to process and are not much inferior in strength to steel ones.
— Types of denim buttons and how to install them.
1. Denim buttons on a stable leg
As a rule, this is a metal shell filled with impact-resistant plastic. The button is installed on a denim pin with a circular notch.
At the installation site, the fabric (skin) is pierced with a hand punch, awl or nail. Insert a denim nail. and hammer it in like an ordinary nail, but not with all your might. Denim buttons with a stable stem are the most durable and easy to install. Denim buttons on a plastic base are also produced. Without metal shell. Require special attention during installation. When driving a denim tack, precise alignment must be maintained, otherwise the button will split. It is better not to mess with such products. 2. Denim buttons on a stable leg with a hole
Button manufacturers recommend installing them on smooth denim studs. All metal or tubular. Since it is difficult to install buttons on these nails, it is necessary to maintain precise alignment; you can use a denim nail with a circular notch. We install in exactly the same way as in the case described above. But we additionally flatten the tip of the denim nail after installation. in order to finally fix the denim stud. If you install it on a smooth denim stud, it often turns out to be longer than necessary. Use pliers to shorten it to the required length. And install using a bolt with a diameter of 5mm.
We install it from the front side of the button on a metal surface.
3. Denim buttons with a broken leg
Installation should be carried out on a smooth wooden surface. Installed on a denim nail with a smooth shaft. Or on a metal tubular one. When installing a button (hammering), it is difficult to maintain alignment. You will need a tube with an internal diameter of 9-10 mm, a length of 30-40 mm and a rod - a bolt with a smooth head with a diameter of 9 mm, a length of 60 mm. If you have a 9mm socket wrench, use it. They hammered in a denim nail, checked it, and tugged at the installed button. In case of installing a denim button on a metal tubular nail, use a tube with a diameter of 10 mm or a socket wrench with a diameter of 10 mm. And in the same way we successfully install the button in the right place. It is also necessary to take into account the length of a standard denim pin, depending on the thickness of the fabric where the button is installed. The thinner the fabric, the shorter the length of the nail should be. The length of a standard all-metal denim stud is 10-12mm, the length of a metal tubular stud is usually 8mm. If necessary, shorten the nails to the required length using pliers.
4. Denim buttons on a broken leg with a hole:
Installed on an all-metal smooth aluminum denim stud or on a metal tubular one. Install on a flat wooden or metal surface. We pierce the fabric (leather) at the installation site and insert a denim nail. If it is long, bite off the excess. And to make the top unravel more beautifully, you can grind it off with a file. Next is the process of installing the button.
We use a cylindrical rod with a diameter of 4-5mm, or an ordinary bolt. The process of installing a denim button can be simplified if you use a denim nail with a circular notch. Hammer a nail like a button on a stable stem (see above). True, it will turn from concave to flat, if this does not bother you. To finally complete the installation of the button, we rivet the tip of the protruding denim nail. Since these steel nails are more difficult to rivet, the main thing is that they do not get scratched later. They riveted a little and that was enough. It is difficult to install these denim buttons on the metal tubular denim studs. They are made of steel and require considerable force to rivet them. If the alignment is not observed, the button and the stud itself can be deformed. Conclusion: The easiest way to install this type of denim buttons is on a smooth aluminum stud.
5. Double Stud Buttons:
A distinctive feature is the solid bottom of the button stem. Which is then pierced with a double denim stud. The carnation tendrils are then bent towards each other. The main disadvantage of this type of button is that one of the fastening studs often breaks off. Installing by hand is easy: Use an awl to punch two holes on the back of the button. We pierce the fabric with a nail, put a button on it and bend the ends of the nails with a narrow screwdriver into the inside of the button.
Removing the remnants of a denim button:
A typical case. A button on a pair of jeans broke on a broken leg. The property of this type of button is to jump off the shaft under increased load. Removing button remnants. Remove with a side cutter or pliers in one movement.
Attention: high-quality installation of fittings can only be done in an atelier or workshop using appropriate professional equipment.
