Quick answer
Attach the pin to a jacket lapel, bag strap, or hat using the butterfly clasp. Choose a visible, flat spot and secure it from behind to prevent loss.
Why placement matters for enamel pins
The KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS White & Black Pin uses a butterfly clasp, which works best on fabric that is thick enough to grip but not so thick that the clasp cannot close. Placing it on a thin shirt may cause the pin to tilt or fall off, while a padded jacket offers a secure hold.
Trade-off: visible vs. protected placement
A lapel or front pocket shows off the raised design and white plating, but it is more exposed to bumps. A bag strap or cap brim keeps the pin safer from accidental hits but may be less visible. Choose based on how often you wear the item.
How to attach and display your pin
- 1. Choose a flat, sturdy fabric area: Pick a spot on a jacket lapel, denim vest, bag strap, or hat brim. Avoid thin knits or mesh where the clasp may not grip. Common mistake: using stretchy or very thin fabric causes the pin to hang upside down or fall off.
- 2. Push the pin post through from the front: Line up the design where you want it, then press the post firmly through the fabric. For thick material, push slowly to avoid bending the post. Checkpoint: the post should exit cleanly on the back side without fabric bunching around it.
- 3. Secure the butterfly clasp on the back: Slide the clasp over the post until it clicks or tightens. Do not overtighten – the clasp should be snug but still allow slight movement to avoid stress on the post. Common mistake: over-tightening can bend the post or damage the enamel finish over time.
- 4. Test the pin before wearing: Gently tug the pin from the front to confirm it is secure. If it shifts, reposition and tighten the clasp again. Empty
- 5. Remove and store when not in use: Unclasp the pin and store it in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches. Keep away from moisture to protect the white plating. Checkpoint: store pins separately – contact with metal objects can scratch the enamel.
