Here are some metal buttons for jeans options to consider for customizing jeans:
Brass/bronze
Warm tones complement denim washes well. Durable and takes a nice patina.
Gunmetal/steel
Cool tones look modern. Heavyweight steel won’t bend or break easily.
Copper
Similar to brass but with richer reddish tones. Will verdigris over time.
Silver/nickel
Bright, shiny finish is eye-catching. Wears elegantly over time.
Pewter
Softer tones mimic antique silver at a lower cost. Forgiving if it loses its shine.
Multicolor oxide
Unique play of colors as metals naturally oxidize in air.
Polished aluminum
Lightweight and inexpensive. Reflective, high-polish look.
Metal alloys
Unique blends like stainless, pewter or tumbaga alloys for exotic look.
Distressed metal
Mechanically or artificially worn surfaces for vintage style.
Engraved/etched design
Add personal monograms, patterns, wording or symbols.
Choosing durable metal like brass or steel best suits rugged denim. Copper or aluminum adds flair. Etching customizes them.
