Write spare buttons into the private-label spec as a line of their own — how many of each size (front and sleeve), whether they are sewn inside the jacket or bagged on the hangtag, and that they match the buttons on the sealed sample — because spares are packed at finishing, and a spec with no spare-button line is easy to read as none. Wikipedia's button entry notes that buttons today are commonly made of plastic but also of metal, wood or seashell, and records shell buttons used as ornaments by 2000 BC; whatever the material, ask for spares that match the buttons on the garment.

Which spare button details go in the spec?
- Front buttons: Number of spares in the front size — Per jacket
- Sleeve buttons: Number of spares in the sleeve size — See sleeve button count
- Trouser and waistcoat buttons: Spares yes or no — State it per garment
- Placement: Sewn inside, in a small bag on the hangtag, or in a pocket — Choose one and write it
- Match: Same buttons as the sealed sample — See button and buttonhole specs
- Bulk: The same spare rule on every garment in the run — See button and trim lock
Why write spares into the spec?
- Clients lose sleeve buttons more often than front buttons, so the count per size matters.
- A spare in a different shade or lot does not help; the match is part of the line.
- Placement affects the hangtag and packaging, so it belongs in the same spec.
Where does this sit on the clock?
Sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Spares are packed at finishing; put the line in the spec before the sample so the sealed sample shows it for bulk from 50 per style.
