Abstract

Auxiliary materials are as important as the fabric, which is the main material of a garment. One of the most important auxiliary materials is the button. There are different types of buttons, made of different materials, with different numbers of holes in different sizes. The breaking strength of the button determines the performance characteristics of the buttons during use.
In this study, commonly used types of buttons were investigated and the breaking strength values of different buttons were measured. The results show that the breaking strength of buttons is related to the number of holes in the button, the size of the sewing thread, and the fabric type. However, the effects of button size and button material were found to be statistically insignificant.

Keywords
