The Ageless Art of Military Buttons by Skylarkinfantry

Uniforms have traditionally represented honor, identity, and belonging — but no aspect embodies their spirit as well as military buttons. These humble yet powerful embellishments have lived through centuries of warfare history, testifying to courage, skill, and pride. At Skylarkinfantry, we honor that tradition by designing military buttons that merge historical accuracy with contemporary sophistication.

Our range is something more than uniform accessories — it’s an honor to military heritage, attention to detail, and sophistication. Each button is a declaration of quality and a badge of allegiance to the very best.

A Legacy Forged in Brass and Tradition

The story of military buttons dates back to the 17th century, when they became a defining feature of military attire. Originally designed for functionality — to fasten coats and jackets — they soon evolved into decorative insignia, symbolizing rank, regiment, and allegiance. Over time, the designs became more intricate, often embossed with crests, eagles, crowns, or regimental numbers.

We at Skylarkinfantry pay homage to this enduring legacy by re-imagining timeless designs with contemporary craftsmanship. Our buttons are crafted using premium brass, pewter, and alloy — for durability, luster, and authenticity. If you’re bringing a ceremonial uniform back to life or creating a bespoke jacket, our buttons capture the essence of genuine military tradition.

Precision Craftsmanship and Detail

Each military button designed by Skylarkinfantry is subject to a careful process that reconciles art and engineering. Our trained craftsmen research historical samples to ensure that each item has the proper texture, relief, and depth — just like old regimental buttons had.

1. Material Selection

We start with superior materials — solid brass, nickel, or gilt — for durability and corrosion resistance. The shiny metal surface of our buttons retains its shine even after years of usage, imparting a professional and well-groomed look to each uniform.

2. Engraving & Embossing

The designs are then etched, engraved, or embossed with precision. Whether it’s a lion crest, anchor, star, or crown, each motif reflects heritage and honor. Our design process is inspired by the insignias of global military traditions — British, American, European, and beyond.

3. Finishing & Polishing

The final touches are what really bring our buttons to life. Polished, antiqued, or matt finishes are carefully selected to match the tone of your uniform. Each finish tells a different era’s story — from Victorian grace to contemporary military chic.
