A reproduction of a wartime button card from the brand Drahoma, printed with a waterproof finish. The card is sold empty – without buttons, allowing customers to sew on their own buttons according to historical patterns. Perfect for reenactment, displays, or as a detailed addition to a period-correct kit.
Cards like this were a common part of a soldier’s personal gear during World War II. They were carried in field blouses, backpacks, or sewing kits, serving as a reserve for quick replacement of lost or damaged buttons in the field.
If you want to complete the card yourself, the recommended content based on historical examples is:
- 2× large black trouser buttons (18 mm)
- 2× small black shirt buttons (15 mm)
- 2× large white trouser buttons (18 mm)
- 2× small white shirt buttons (15 mm)
- 4× iron trouser buttons
Once completed, the card becomes both a functional and visually authentic accessory for reenactors or collectors.
Drahoma represents the kind of small-scale haberdashery manufacturers that were common during the wartime era in Central Europe. These companies supplied buttons, thread, needles, and sewing kits to both civilian and military markets. Their products were simple and utilitarian, designed for mass production under limited wartime conditions.
While many of these original brands disappeared after the war, their items have survived in collections or among personal belongings of soldiers. The Drahoma label is a faithful reconstruction, inspired by those forgotten names of everyday wartime supply.
