Yes. We do not force you to buy Ritchey Clover buttons for your Ritchey Ear Tags. While we feel our buttons provide the best retention around, we understand you may have a favorite brand or have dozens of other buttons laying around your shop. If not a Ritchey Clover button, we recommend either AllFlex or Temple buttons for the best retention possible. Don't forget the importance of the correct tool pin! See here - Tale of the Tool Pins
