Shirt & Pants Buttons

[gbougard]

Hi again:

I would love to customize  a couple of pairs of pants and a couple of denim shirts with different buttons.

Is there like a button guru you guys know about?

Alternatively, how easy is it to change metal buttons, I have a notion to try it meself and express my artistic creativity this way… Anybody done changing their buttons? Please show pix, that will be fascinating!

Thanks

I have a hand press that does the metal button thing.  I don't have the particulr dye for butons, having had no need to date (but it's like a $10 tool).  I use it for stamping holes in the belts when adjusting the size and for the application of rivets…

I've bought Levi's and Lee buttons from this place in the past, to add as suspender buttons to cinchback jeans.

They were a pleasure to deal with - very accommodating and cheap, fast shipping for a small order to the UK. The company is based in the US. Highly recommended.

Sorry this thread didn't develop to make my button hunting easier.

Good try

@Sreeni, it's a three and a half year old post… possible the site/ company no longer exists.

@dylantbmayes - I thought so too. I found a few good ones on Etsy. Any other suggestions?

Digging up an old thread as I’m Looking to buy some decent buttons myself.
Definitely not something I’ve really had to do before.
Anyone out there know of a button brand worthy of installing onto my UHF shirts?
solid silver ones for each cuff would also be nice

@Aussie-Ben there’s the sterling silver Good Art buttons Iron Heart sell? Pretty sure they’ll even put them on for you if you send your shirts in

Restock @AdamJ ?

@DeeDee85 yeah already checked IH but according to the online store they have none. Checked the good art web site too without any luck. Looks like some patience might be in order ️

@Giles I’ll hold out and wait for some of these to become available again. Thank you for your reply
