buttons for hunt coat

[spacefaer]

I need some buttons for my hunt coat and also my hacking jacket

Not hunt buttons (I wish!) but plain black ones and plain green ones - they've popped off in my (un) althetic leaping on and off opening and shutting gates.... serves me right for not jumping them!!

Any bright ideas where I could get some? I've never seen a haberdashers round here, as I guess that's what I need?

I am sure you can get them off Ebay, but I love this, pity I am not in need of a red wool cloth waistcoat.

To sew on buttons use mane type linen thread, make a good criss cross in to material and button holes, then make a "stalk" by circling the thread under the button.
