Button facing (or, in the case of a coat) fly front


Explanation:
This is the bit on garments beneath which buttons are hidden. I worked in the Textilbanche, but it's as such in the Duden/Oxford.

(Duden DE: verstärkter Stoffstreifen [an einem Kleidungsstück], auf dem Knöpfe aufgenäht sind: ein Mantel mit verdeckter Knopfleiste.)

agree  Manfred Mondt: recently translated a whole bunch of placket stuff into German as Knopfleiste. Placket as used for polo shirts is the only correct term.
