JBDIYMEJean Tack Buttons Kit, Set w/Tool-There is a Replacement Button for Levis! (17mm BDA)

I purchased this 8 set jean button kit to replace broken buttons on my jeans. For some reason or another, some of my jeans, maybe after laundry have lost the main button.This kit is very easy to use and is very straight forward. The only rather difficult part was squeezing the button into the pin. However, a nice simply little plastic tool was provided for this. You will still need to find a sturdy surface and squeeze the pin into the button.I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

It is becoming quite evident that clothing manufactures are using inferior quality thread to hold buttons on pants. As a result, I have a jar filled with buttons and a closet filled with buttonless pants. The problem is how do I resolve this dilemma. The answer is with this product. I've used it and it does work. It holds my pants waist closed and after a number of cycles through the washer and dryer there are no signs of these buttons coming loose.Some who reviewed this product did not have the same experience as I have. I would like to share my method of attaching these buttons. First, try to work on a flat surface such as a table; it will make it easier.1. To get the button in the right spot, lay the pants on the table with the zipper closed with the waist band button hole over the other side of the waist band where the original button was located. Make certain that the top of the waist band are in alignment.Using the center of the button hole as your guide, push an awl (or a sharp pointed nail) through the waist band where the button was located. A thick magazine placed between the front and rear of the waste band will prevent the tool from penetrating the rear part of the waste band ( or worse, the table).2. Push the button tack through the waist band (from the rear) at the point where the awl penetrated through the waist band. When you do this, the button side of the fabric will show some loose thread ends and possible a roll of fabric around the pointed end of the tack. Using a single edge razor blade or a sharp knife, cut the threads off and remove the roll of fabric. The object is to expose the maximum length of tack available to insert into the replacement button stud.3. Turn the pants over so that the tack head will be in the up position. Align the button and tack. Using a hammer, drive the tack into the button. It is not necessary to drive the tack into the button with a great amount of force. (I use an 8 ounce tack hammer which works fine.) The new button should be snug on the waist band. It sometimes takes two or more hits on the tack to achieve this. I also place a magazine directly under the button to prevent the button from getting damaged and to protect the hard (table) surface from dents or other marks.I have had success using this method. It does take some time to get everything organized - about 10 minutes - but it is worth it.

This thing worked.It's very easy to follow the pictures in the box. And the product itself is excellent.The box arrived a little late and there was a problem with the shipping. The seller even contacted me because of an "extra charge" I had to paid for it (less than 1 dollar). This was probably a mistake from the seller, but it was fine for me.I just hope they don't get used to repeat it again.

New pair of Arizona Jeans that I purchased, wore them a couple of times and discovered that they had a flaw. Yep, the button popped right off. I purchased this kit in hopes of salvaging the jeans. With little expectations and high hopes I mended a new brass button onto the jeans. This kit was magic. Easy to use, easy to apply and now my jeans are like new! I recommend this product to anyone wanting to salvage a buttonless pair of jeans!

I bought a pair of Levi jeans online, and the button above the fly was broken. I could’ve sent the jeans back, but it seemed easier to just replace the button, so I did a little research and decided to try these. I was a little nervous because of some bad reviews, but figured I have eight tries to get it right, and the price wouldn’t kill me.The buttons arrived a full week earlier than predicted, by mail, and I set straight to work replacing my button so I could wear my new jeans. The first button was a bust, and I quickly figured out that a hammer is NOT the tool to use; it’s almost impossible to line up the button and keep it straight. For my second (and successful) attempt, I used a pair of pliers - the kind with an adjustable jaw - and adjusted the jaw to where the two sides would come down almost straight, like a tiny vice. I imagine vice grips would work here too, but I think I had more control with the pliers. Also, don’t overdo it; I went back and tried to tighten it up, and almost ruined my work.All in all, the buttons are what they say they are. If you have to have one, these will do the job.

I used these to repair a pair of brand new jeans that the button broke on after one use. These buttons are easy to use and will last along time. I have washed the pair of jeans I repaired over twenty times now and this button is holding up strong.

I had asked various , merchants for a replacement button for jeans/denim material. I finally turned to Amazon for the needed button. I was directed to several pages of buttons. There were several that would work, so I selected one and one-clicked it. a couple of days later I received the replacement button, opened the package, and installed the button. It worked perfectly, I am satisfied. Thanks Amazon. tonym
