Buttons – haberdashery for reenactors

My latest tailoring exploits are late medieval men's clothing – doublet, cothehardie, robe… For this occasion I made a few handfuls of typical haberdashery accessories 🙂

In the Middle Ages, in addition to buttons cast from metal, textile buttons were used, i.e. those made from a piece of fabric. And it's no wonder - such buttons are also used today, although not very often.

The buttons are made of: a disc of thin linen fabric, a small brass disc, a ball of cotton wool (fortunately available) and a piece of thread.
