Source on Buttons and Finery

[Kilted Christian]

Hello all,

I want to replace the buttons on my navy blazer and potentially replace buttons on the Argyll jacket that Matt is getting for me.

Does anyone know a source on nice cast or enameled buttons for use here with blazers, jackets, or sporrans. Some of these companies may also make nicer kilt pins or hat badges.

Cheers,

Chris

I got my buttons for my formal jacket from them. Good, quick service and very high quality buttons.

Here's a thread that might be useful. Three Feathers is great and there's another at the bottom of this thread that is a little more expensive but they have a different selection.

Pewter buttons? On a blue blazer? Good heavens, no! :mrgreen:

For quality blazer buttons, I recommend Ben Silver in Charleston:

Or Benson & Clegg in London:

Yes, I know -- they're not cheap!

Check with your alma mater as well -- they may have blazer buttons.

Cheers,

T.
