A fastener for incorporation into an article of clothing, for example an adjustable cap, is disclosed. The fastener includes a first fastener counterpart and a second fastener counterpart that are co-operatively configured to define a plurality of co-operating connection systems. Each one of the plurality of co-operating connection systems, independently, includes a plurality of first interlocking counterparts and a plurality of second interlocking counterparts. The first and second fastener counterparts are cooperatively configured for disposition in a plurality of connected configurations. The plurality of connected configurations includes at least one multi-coupled connected configuration defined by at least one operative adjacent pair of releasably coupled relationships and participating first interlocking counterparts are releasably coupled with corresponding or participating second interlocking counterparts so that at least one non-participating second interlocking counterpart is disposed between the participating ones of the second interlocking counterparts of the operative adjacent pair of releasably coupled relationships.

A two part button system provides secure and easy snap-on/snap-off action between a domed, perforated, flexing decorative top piece and a button base member attached to fabric or apparel. When the parts are in their usable positions with respect to one another, their configurations create a small crevice between opposed perimeter edges. Separation and removal of the top piece from the base member occurs only when a compressing/prying force is applied in the crevice, allowing the top piece to be easily and promptly lifted away from the base member, and optionally replaced by a substitute top piece thus changing the button system appearance. The decorative options for top pieces are unlimited, allowing for a traditional looking and functioning base member that is connected to fabric or apparel in the usual fashion, but able one-at-a-time to accept numerous and various decorative top pieces as desired and changed at will.

A method for subjecting garment accessories to a surface electrolytic treatment provides various metallic colors to metallic garment accessories in a cost effective manner. The method can provide a first metallic color on one side of outer surface of the garment accessory and provide a second metallic color on the other side of the outer surface, by placing one or more metallic garment accessories in an electrolytic solution in a non-contact state with an anode and a cathode for passing electric current through the electrolytic solution, passing electric current through the electrolytic solution and generating a bipolar phenomenon on the garment accessory.

The button have an upper cover portion and a curled edge portion, the curled edge portion including a first bulge portion and a second bulge portion, where the first bulge portion is arranged at one side of the upper cover portion and is connected with the upper cover portion; the second bulge portion is arranged below the first bulge portion and is connected with the first bulge portion; and the upper cover portion and the curled edge portion are integrally processed and molded. The stamped one-piece thin-walled button with a curled edge structure is convenient to use and beautiful in shape by providing the upper cover portion and the curled edge portion. In addition, due to fact the upper cover portion and the curled edge portion are integrally processed and formed, the one-piece button has the structural characteristics of a double-layer button under the condition of reducing material costs and production processes.

A button badge making machine includes a support frame and a lower die. The support frame includes a lower support member and first and second resilient units projecting upwardly from the lower support member and respectively having upwardly facing first and second support surfaces. The lower die includes a lower center die seat disposed on the lower support member, and a lower peripheral die seat surrounding and movable relative to the lower center die seat. The lower peripheral die seat is turnable about a rotating axis relative to the lower support member between first and second angular positions to be supported by the first and second support surfaces, respectively, with different resilient supports.
