buttons come in different textures. some times they are smooth and sometimes they are rough in texture. buttons are so important that sometimes nonmatter how beautiful the cloth is people refuse to purchase it just because the buttons aren't fit enough for them. i myself have that experience. if buttons don't match their taste most people will refuse to buy. regardless how tiny the button is, it can make a big impact on the whole product. i have heard often both men and women say;
"oh.. these buttons are too shiny."
"i really like this out fit but these buttons, they are too big for me."
"i really don't like the color of the buttons."
and blah... blah..blah... so you can see how this small thing affect big when you are truly an expert of clothing and fashion.
