Button Sizes - Lignes and Millimetres

Ligne (from the French for line) is the traditional unit for measuring buttons and has been used since way back in the 9th Century. The Ligne size is not the same as millimetres. We have tried to include both the Ligne size and the size in millimetres for all buttons. Here is a handy conversion chart in case you find one we've missed!
