This button, identifiable by its lustrous shine, originates from natural mollusk shells.
The shirt buttons
From our signature three-color GANT button to the genuine mother-of-pearl, buttons are what keep your shirt together - literally. A button is one of the oldest and most frequently used types of fastener. Ever wondered why the buttons on a woman’s shirt differ from those on a man’s? Between the Renaissance and Victorian eras, highborn women enjoyed the luxury of being dressed by their servants. Most servants were right-handed, and so it was easier to have the buttons on the right hand side. Men, on the other hand, dressed themselves, explaining why the buttons are located on the other side.
