The sensation a beautiful horn button arouses is akin to the anticipation of taste. I want to eat it, like a wholemeal cookie. I’ll never understand why the Italians prefer corozo.
I have to say, that's pretty much the opposite of everything I love about the Rifugio one. It's so showy and overdetailed. Much better with the nubuck finish, and it's all about the skin
Rifugio’s old villa

I have to agree with you on that! The button above looks great, much better than the button my tailor (Italian) offers…
How could you actually recognize if a button is real horn?
A few ways, but most obviously the alternatives all have the same variegation or pattern on them. If you’re making thousands of plastic buttons, you don’t bother to make each one unique.
Could you please recommend some great sources for horn buttons with two holes and two grooves? I much prefer their look above four-holed models.
Show us the corresponding hand-sewn buttonhole, and the whole affair will begin to get somewhat erotic…
Very aubergine…
