Where I can find cat's eye buttons?

I need one black 11-12mm dia, but the color is so unique (black, but when you look at it closely, it's very dark burgundy). These buttons are smooth except the cat's eye.

If I can't get right one, I need to change all, and then similar buttons to IH workshirt buttons are OK.
I can take a dozen or two if they are not costing an arm and a leg.

@Seul:

Does anyone know this:

Pressie, just wondering whether it's decent… Max Power?.. Geo?..

Hi Seul.

I love Caol ila, it's a realitvely mild islay whisky, peaty, but not too strong. A bit oily and waxy and a bit like the stuff the make gin out of, juniper?!) . i got three versions at home, that says it all. the 12 YO is the standard Version which is perfect for beginners, then there's also a cask strength, an 18 YO and an unpeated version. But you got a nice bottle there, enjoy it. Maybe add a drop of water and see how the peatsmoke starts to come up…

The finish is not as long as on a Arbeg, Lagavulin or the like and the body is medium - light.

I love to drink Coal Ila after a day at the sea or in winter to get warm. So not right now...

[Seul]

Thanks lad!.. How about that review ladies and gents!..

[injunjack]

nice rewiev indeed, but me thinks Max has a problem. He's got whisky in stock…. ??? That ain't right. They might evolve taste of glass if stored too long

I only got a problem with filling up my whisky cupboard fast enough

Speaking of the cupboard - actual state here, including my 3 Caol Ilas:

Could I interest you in a rare 25yo Ben Nevis - single cask - cask strength Flo?

[injunjack]

I must say that is one nice collection. I wish I could do the same, but my thirst always wins

Wow, generally I'm not the biggest Fan of Ben Nevis, but have you got details? I assume it's an independent bottling?

[Geo]

Not at home but here's a link

Don't have the original box - I think there was about 400 bottles made in total

Pm me if you have an interest

[Max Power]

That's a very interesting bottle! 1984 is my birthyear, and I like sherry matured whisky. But I fear I bought too much lately…must think about it, ok?

[Blackheart]

IJ, might be able to help you with the cat's eye buttons…I work close to a fabric store that caters to the
film industry and they have everything. Post a pic of the button if you can and I'll see what I can find.

I'll try to find a pic from the net, as I don't have camera at the moment, wifey took it to her trip to St. Petersburg

Is there any way to shorten a shirt's sleeves?

[injunjack]

yes there is. Jimmy can tell you how. Or any decent tailor.

[ronaldlsh]

Ok thanks. Erm, anyone here ever done that on an IH shirt?

No problem dude - just thought you'd be interested

[jacoavlu]

Anyone with experience comparing fit of broken in 301 vs 9301? Any difference?

Ronald, are the sleeves crazy long? Cuffing back looks nice.
