       3 . The fixture according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein the spacer ( 58 ) is formed in a flat ring continuously extending along the outer circumferential edge of the flange ( 51 ) on a side abutting on the first surface of the fabric ( 1 ) with a constant width,    the retainer edge ( 60 ) is formed in a flat ring continuously extending along the outer circumferential edge of the flange ( 51 ) on the side opposite to the fixing post ( 52 ) with a constant width, and    the connecting portion ( 59 ) is formed in a ring continuously connecting the spacer ( 58 ) and the retainer edge ( 60 ) along an outer circumferential end surface of the flange ( 51 ) with a constant width.    
   
   
       4 . The fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein an uneven portion ( 581 ) is provided on the surface of the spacer ( 58 ) abutting on the first surface of the fabric ( 1 ) or on the surface of the flange ( 51 ) on the side opposite to the first surface of the fabric ( 1 ).  
   
   
       5 . The fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the retainer edge ( 60 ) is a plurality of engaging claws ( 60 A) which are fixed on the surface of the flange ( 51 ) on the side opposite to the fixing post ( 52 ).  
   
   
       6 . The fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the packing ( 53 ) is integrally formed along the outer circumferential edge of the flange ( 51 ).  
   
   
       7 . The fixture according to  claim 1 , wherein the packing ( 53 ) is formed separately from the flange ( 51 ), and the retainer edge ( 60 ) is deformed inward.  
   
   
       8 . A button, comprising: 
 a button body ( 4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D); and    a fixture ( 5 A,  5 B,  5 C,  5 F),    wherein the button body ( 4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D) and the fixture ( 5 A,  5 B,  5 C,  5 F) are engaged with each other while a fabric ( 1 ) is interposed between the button body ( 4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D) and the fixture ( 5 A,  5 B,  5 C,  5 F),    the fixture ( 5 A,  5 B,  5 C,  5 F) including:    a flange ( 51 ) to be abutted on a first surface of the fabric ( 1 );    a fixing post ( 52 ) provided substantially at the center of the flange ( 51 ), the fixing post ( 52 ) penetrating though the fabric ( 1 ) to the second surface and fixing the button body ( 4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D) on the second surface of the fabric ( 1 ); and    an elastic packing ( 53 ) provided on the flange ( 51 ),    wherein the flange ( 51 ) has a pressure receiver ( 54 ) provided at the center of a surface of the flange ( 51 ) on a side opposite to the fixing post ( 52 ), the pressure receiver ( 54 ) receiving a force for deforming a tip end of the fixing post ( 52 ) when the button body ( 4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D) is fixed, and    the packing ( 53 ) includes a spacer ( 58 ) provided on the surface of the flange ( 51 ) to be abutted on the first surface of the fabric ( 1 ) and a retainer edge ( 60 ) extended from the spacer ( 58 ) to the surface of the flange ( 51 ) on the side opposite to the fixing post ( 52 ) via a connecting portion ( 59 ) and covering at least a part of an outer circumferential edge of the flange ( 51 ) except an area occupied by the pressure receiver ( 54 ).
