I've looked at all of my usual sites, and haven't found what we need. I've found part of it at Cheeptrims.com, but haven't found the buttons, and that's the harder one to find. The problem being that we're going to need large amounts (buttons for the groomsmen on the wedding outfits), and we're not likely to find that in stores. Any suggestions? Ticia |

If you are willing to settle for basic buttons for suits, pants, even covered buttons of all sizes you can find them by the gross at Atlanta Thread and Supply. They do not offer "fancy" buttons but I think that you could find a basic suit coat button. They are also a fantastic source for sewing supplies, even some that are rare to find.

I like MJ Trims. They have a lot of great things, some are very fancy and unusual. It may be a bit pricier, but well worth it if it's exactly what you want. Buttons and trims do make or break a garment and since you've already gone to the expense of the fabric, construction, fitting, etc you may as well go the extra mile to make your wedding party look perfect!

Hello, Laura! Thanks for posting the link to that button shop! I could spend hours in there! But, I'd better not for risk of losing a small fortune. Kate Katherine McCrea

I have a brown tweed jacket to make. Those wood and cork buttons would be perfect.
