In sewing a button to a coat or jacket, do you make your passes through all the layers of cloth, or do you just sew through the outer layer, and why do you prefer your chosen method?
I haven't done a button on a shortcut or suit jacket, but all but the most recent of the ones I currently own have the thread coming all the way through. I have reattached closure buttons on my overcoat, and those came all the way through and used backing buttons.
I've gotta say, I like how the backing button releases the stress on the fabric.
While I am no expert on the etiquette involved in the wearing of rubber footwear, on the farm we usually tuck the legs into the boots. Saves on washing manure out of them.
