ABSTRACT:
In order to create or emulate authentic shotgun holes in a garment, a garment is subject to a distressing process with projectiles or other distressing apparatuses. A garment may be distressed without comprising critical components of the garment by positioning it in a stationary form in relation to a distressing apparatus and protecting the garment with a garment protection apparatus. A button for a garment is created by utilizing an authentic shotgun shell base attached to a rivet and spacer.
