History of National Button Day
National Button Society, founded in 1938 created National Button Day to collect some innovative buttons and to make some handmade crafts with those buttons. The size of the buttons may vary according to their uses. The buttons in Shirts are generally small and spaced close together. The buttons on the coat are larger and spaced further apart. The size of the buttons is measured in lines (1inch=40linges). The buttons for men are always on the right side of the shirt as they always tend to dress and most of the men’s are right-handed. For Women, the buttons are on the left side as they rely on maids to help dress them and it is always easier for the servant to button from the other side.
