These flat buttons were used for German uniforms during The First and Second world wars. They were sewn on camouflage blouses, shirts, pants (both cloth and HBT) and overalls of all kinds. In general this button is a classic, it can be used on any clothing.

The diameter is 17 mm. We offer buttons made of aluminum and steel (steel buttons are painted gray) and zinc coated steel (silver color, look like zinc, but stronger).

Original buttons, by the way, were rarely zincated. By the time the buttons started to be made of steel (1940), it was not possible to use expensive zinc for finishing such minor items as buttons. So they just painted buttons in gray. You need to remember that the clothes on front didn't live long (as well as soldiers), so rusty buttons were not a problem there.

Our replica steel and aluminum buttons are among the originals.


Historical reference.

Four-hole buttons were used usually on clothes, when three-hole mostly for equipment.

Merchandising tips

Use on reproduction German shirts, trouser closures, camouflage garments or overalls where the pattern calls for a 17 mm four-hole button. Match the buttonhole size, finish and garment pattern before sewing; these are functional clothing buttons rather than the larger pebbled front buttons of a field tunic.

Historical reference

German military trousers used functional buttons for closures and attaching braces during the Second World War. A surviving Luftwaffe pair has metal buttons at the fly and waist, plus six around the waistband for braces.
