Where to find buttons to sew onto a leather jacket?
I have a leather jacket bought from Wilson’s Leather many years ago. It still looks great but the problem is that 2 of the 3 buttons fell off and I don’t know where to find similar looking buttons as replacement to get a seamstress to sew back on. Any ideas?
I don’t want to buy a new jacket, this one is fine and has sentimental value.
Thanks for your help.
It’s pretty easy to replace the whole set of buttons, rather than trying to match the remaining one.
Wilson’s (if they’re still around) may be able to get you “originals”, but these are commonly available, and often stocked by dry cleaners and alterationists: http://store.atlantathread.com/leatherbuttons.html
Here’s how to translate button sizes into inches or millimeters:
