It's leather, wrapped around the mandrell and than glued together (not glued to the mandrell), than sanded to the desired shape and a layer of masking tape over it. I cut my string to the width and thickness I want and in this case about 4" to 5" long. While I build my casa (o1/u1) foundation that will determine how many bights and parts I come up with for that button.
What is the collar made of? How did you know how thick and how long to make the string relative to the collar? (Limited experience with braiding.)
