Where to get spare button?

[dollface]

My previous horse managed to remove the button off my mears tweed. Typically I was unable to find it in the ring and I now need a replacement. I've emailed mears but had no reply. I'm happy to buy a whole new set as I can't find , don't know if it ever did have a spare one. Where will I get some?

Go to your local haberdashery?

Do they even still exist? Can't say I've seen one for years but will have a look about thanks

Google for a sewing or knitting shop in your area they will stock buttons.

Local village has a wool shop which also does all sewing stuff etc, great for ribbons, buttons et al
You could also try charity shop for loose buttons or perhaps a mans sports jacket going cheap, that you can cut the buttons off
Try also on line too, good luck

What about Button Boutique, put a pic up maybe someone has one lying around there are so many of them. I desperately need one for an Equitech jacket!!

Is it one of the foxhead ones? If so they are available from Derby House or on ebay.

Yes it is, maybe eBay will deliver quicker? Need it for 3 weeks time. Thanks everyone

I replaced all the buttons on my Caldene jacket as I couldn't get hold of a spare that looked the same in time for a show. I went to John Lewis which had an excellent haberdashery section with a whole heap of different buttons.

In fact I have just looked online and you can buy online, here's the link with the search term "buttons"

Maybe try just speaking to Mears on the phone, I bet they would post you some out.

I recently replaced the buttons on my show jacket with some I bought off ebay.
Nice to have something a bit different!

What you type in to eBay to stop the millions of pages of buttons coming up? I need nice buttons to suit my green tweed x
