<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10409755, member: 10944"]I guess it would be hard to pass a thread back and forth. I just assumed it worked like a standard two hole button, but again I’m no seamstress. As a metal detectorist in an area with history back to the 1600’s I get to see a lot of buttons from throughout that time period. It’s one of the most common finds outside of straight up trash. Every old farm field has a handful or two in it. I guess a strap of some kind could have slid under. I can’t see someone sewing the length of the button like you mentioned.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]523872[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
