Backing Buttons – This is its most common professional tailoring use. It is sewn on the inside of a coat or blazer, directly behind a heavy front button (like a 22mm metal or gold button). The fabric is sandwiched between the two buttons, which prevents the heavy outer button from ripping a hole in the cloth.
Men’s & Women’s Dress Shirts – Placed on the sleeve cuffs, collar stands, or the main front placket of light-colored, white, or patterned shirts where you do not want a solid color button breaking up the fabric design.
Hidden Plackets – Used inside hidden button closures on raincoats, blouses, or fly-front trousers where the buttons are completely covered by a flap of fabric.
Pillowcases & Duvet Covers – Widely used in home textiles for closing duvet covers or decorative pillow shams because they wash well and do not press uncomfortably against the skin.
Children’s & Baby Clothes – Used on cardigans, rompers, and lightweight cotton baby clothes because they are smooth, lightweight, and do not distract from cute prints.
