Button Down Better
Ever been flustered by a broken or missing button right when you are ready to walk out the door? Ah, we have all been through this at one point in our lives. For those like me who detest sewing, the Pin Button is a good option. A plastic button is superimposed upon a metal pin, which you need to push in and secure (as shown in the video), thus releasing you from the clutches of needle and thread! Yes, this pin button is my savior!

Interesting idea, but no.
Just put on another shirt and fix the missing button later (or have it fixed…).
I already imagine forgetting the button is there and then having a shirt with rust stains after it’s been through the washer…
Also, that button will very likely not match the other buttons on my shirts…

Quintin,
It is likely to match other buttons by reusing the shirt button with the bottom of this button to attach it to the shirt.
Stainless steel doesn’t rust.
You’re an idiot. do your research before speaking
Quintin Smits says
An idiot, thank you.
Nowhere does it say it is stainless steel, it says “metal”. True, stainless steel is a metal alloy, but it isn’t specified…
How exactly would you attach this button the the bottom of the original button in a way that is faster than sewing the original button back on?
This all is going past the fact that it would be much easier and better for your shirt if you’d simply put on another shirt and fix the missing button later…
The idea is interesting and there are probably people who’d use it. I’m not one of them.

I love this idea! I never get around to sewing the buttons back on and I know others who forget as well. This is a great concept if the metal bit doesn’t rust or damage the garment.
Also love the idea of this kind of button coming with the garment.

Or simply take the button that fell off, and a paperclip, straighten the paperclip out and put it through the button, and use it to attach it with.
Problem solved.

The bent “Metal” will Not beagle to absorb as much strain as multiple layers of thread, there needs to be special hardware to bend the prongs,
Nice idea, but clearly not field tested.
