So how do you sew one of these onto a shirt, Kato? Is there a needle size that will fit through a 2mm button's... hole?

FYI, the button hole is 0.6MM, the hole will never be as big as the button

But if the hole was as big as the button there wouldbe no problem sewing it on.

Then it is not a button, it is just a hole (it is nothing actually) ..

Damn, is my English being corrected by two guys whose first language ISN'T English? This is a sad day for me, my friends. Anyways, here's that question again, but worded correctly:

Look, I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the max size would be a 0.5mm needle.

If you are going to make the buttons available, for those of us that might want to swap out the old versions from your custom clothing, I'd be more than interested. In both the shirt size and vest buttons(both for joker customs).
They look great Kato.

Cool might be interested in some if you do sell aswell

I lost one of the "Buttons" on my Kato Indy shirt. Any help with those ones? Thanks.

I went to a local supply store today and picked up a few 2mm styrene sticks, but they look a little small, even smaller than the one Kato posted. However, I've cut a few and I've gotta pick up my drill and get to work. I'll post some pictures when I've got the time.

 

[The Danger]

Alright, I'm still searching for a .5mm drill bit, only one I can find is sold in a package of 60. Here's what the buttons look like undrilled, laid onto a shirt.

Update! I've got it!
