Jacket Button help

[Detroitpete]

Hey folks,

I remember there being a post somewhere with a link to a jacket button supplier, but I can't seem to find it.

I'm looking to have a Braemar or Argyle made and I'd like to find a source for appropriate buttons. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

I have several other links that have been commonly posted on XMTS if you are looking for something different.

a quick search on ebay shows 6 buttons for $9US plus $.75 postage

in two sizes

beats the pants off of ~$3ea.

I was also going to post this link to silver plated buttons:

For what it's worth.

If you want horn buttons, you should also look at companies/sites that sell German oriented merchandise.

I had it in my mind that it would be a formal jacket with white metal buttons.

Sorry about that.

Here's another shop that I've had great luck with:

I recently had to replace a missing horn button on an argyle jacket I purchased on eBay...

This was a perfect match: http://www.ejoyce.com/pmain?cmd=e_vi...e=000100090015

They have them in different sizes, and I think it would probably look good on a dark jacket.

You can click on the button labeled "Size chart" and print out the actual button sizes to help match the correct size.

They also have black in cross cut: http://www.ejoyce.com/pmain?cmd=e_vi...e=000100090015

Hope this helps!
