Why is brass listed in the material composition for the 'Silver Button Shirt'?
Seeing 'Silver' in the product name can bring silver material to mind, but brass, meaning brass metal, is listed in the product details, making this an easy point of confusion.
The silver in the name refers to the color of the buttons, while the brass listed in the material composition refers to the base brass metal of the hardware.
Although silver is in the name, the metal listed in the materials is brass (Brass)[1]. The material composition confirmed for the Silver Button Shirt by HYEIN SEO is 100% polyester for the body fabric and Brass used for the hardware[2].
In garment hardware, the term silver often refers to a silver-colored luster or tone rather than actual pure silver material. Metal buttons attached to clothing need to withstand the friction applied when opening and closing and must not easily corrode during laundering, so it is common to use solid, highly durable brass as the base rather than silver, which is soft and prone to tarnishing.
hmmm, it captures the visible silver color in the product name while honestly highlighting in the material list the presence of solid brass that supports the button's durability.
The specific plating method or processing treatment on the surface of the brass buttons has not yet been confirmed.
