press stud

Push-together metal closure

A press stud is a small fastener with two interlocking discs that snap together when pressed and pull apart when tugged—used on clothing, bags, and upholstery.

The term is British; Americans say snap or snap fastener.

The press stud on his jacket pocket kept coming undone.
