Whether you want to attach buttons to a wool coat or reinforce the fastener of a bag, this Gütermann cord yarn No. 280 offers an intense, dark and warm chocolate brown.

Composition and dimensions

Thispolyester yarnis wound on a30 m reel. The name cord refers to a large, twisted thread: several strands are twisted together to obtain a diameter larger than that of a common sewing thread, with a more pronounced stitch and a better hold to repeated tensions. This cord thread for topstitching is suitable for buttonholes and decorative topstitching. TheColour No. 280, a chocolate brown with warm reflections, blends with woollen cloth, tweed, velvet or leather, and matches caramel, mustard or ecru tones.

Our advice

• Finish with two or three small stitches on the strap rather than with a large knot: on a thin fabric, the latter can be guessed right side up.
• On a four-hole button, sew the pairs in parallel and keep a slight slack under the button to keep buttoning easy.
• Place a small flat button on the wrong side of a coat: it distributes the traction and prevents tearing the fabric.

It goes well with wool cloth and corduroy. Provide flat reinforcement buttons and a thimble to cut through the layers.
