What is your choice for blazer buttons?

[Noble Savage]

Gentlemen,


Today I spent quite a while perusing the selection of over 40,000 metal buttons at http://www.waterburybutton.com I could not help but find myself in Hamlet mode, unable to make a decision. And so I ask for your opinions. What images on buttons do you favor for your blazers?

While this is indeed an engaging pursuit, Waterbury does not sell buttons in small quantities to retail customers. Has anyone here ordered buttons from them in reasonable quantities?

Benson & Clegg. Where I bought St. George slaying the dragon.

I had a bunch made by someone on esty. I wanted a dark-ish bronze with a family monogram.

Otherwise, there are a few good ones in the B&C and other standard books. A nice gold basket weave, and I have also used a gunmetal grey plain (polished).

Would you be willing to share a link to the Etsy seller?

I went with the three lions brass colored for my navy blazer. I bought the jacket from Anderson and Sheppard, but Benson & Clegg has a similar one, within their array of choices alluded to by the previous posters.

I use brass shanked buttons from my university. The Waterbury Button Company makes them.

I remember Will from A Suitable Wardrobe once said that blazer buttons should be made of real gold. I adore Will, but do not have the means to purchase gold buttons and would be horrified if one ever fell off and got lost somewhere.

I always enjoyed reading Will's stuff and I learned a lot. One of the things I learned was that he had a propensity for making hyperbolic statements.

{ really like the dark blue blazer and have three of them one for summer, winter and midyear. All three have the same buttons, pewter with a crest. I only paid a few dollars for them at Joanne Fabrics and have had them for years, In my view ,they are perfect.
