Abstract

A button body ( 11 ) has a housing ( 11 A) for a tip end ( 12 A) of the fixture ( 12 ) to be inserted therein. The fixture ( 12 ) has a shoulder ( 12 C) between the tip end ( 12 A) and a tubular portion ( 12 B) formed continuously from the tip end ( 12 A). The shoulder ( 12 C) has an edge ( 12 F) as a cutting portion to cut a fabric ( 1 ) with an insertion end ( 11 E) of the housing ( 11 A) of the button body ( 11 ). Without applying a big force to the edge ( 12 F), the fabric can be cut easily regardless of the thickness of the fabric.
