The Button is a small sewing button. It is a tailoring material, and the shirt and coat recipes each need a few of them.
Sew Shirt and Sew Sleeveless Shirt need buttons for every shirt. The hide garments use them too, from Sew Hide Jacket to Sew Furred Hide Coat. Sew Bear uses two for a teddy bear. Every one of these jobs belongs to the Tailoring skill and needs no station.
Buttons are found loose in houseware stores, tailoring stores, department storage and general stores. They weigh almost nothing, so a handful costs nothing to carry. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Shirts come first. Sew Shirt takes three buttons at Tailoring 2 and makes a Crafted Burlap Shirt, Crafted Cotton Shirt or Crafted Denim Shirt. Sew Sleeveless Shirt also takes three buttons at Tailoring 1. The fabric is Burlap Piece, Cotton Fabric Roll or a denim roll.
Hide clothing takes them at higher skill. Sew Hide Coat and Sew Hide Jacket need Tailoring 4. Sew Hide Hoodie and Sew Furred Hide Jacket need Tailoring 5. Sew Furred Hide Coat needs Tailoring 6 and makes coats such as the Cowhide Coat and Sheepskin Coat.
Sew Bear takes two buttons at Tailoring 4. It makes a Crafted Burlap Teddy Bear or a Crafted Cotton Teddy Bear.
