A big big big thanks to @philwongnz and @eddyroxx for your clutch suggestion, as well as Marco from the Tom Ford store in Beverly Hills haha.

He hooked me up with my official Tom Ford sleeve buttons and they're now in the hands of my tailor being sewn on.

Never thought to call the store directly and you totally saved the day. Thank you so much!

I'm glad it worked out for you. Pls remember to show your tailor the first cuff button hole is slightly longer than the rest of them and is 5 of them. Use the silk thread provide or at least colour match it with the button hole at the front. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip. I had another Tom Ford jacket to show her and she raised an eyebrow at first at the 5 holes and the longer one but afaict she matched them perfectly. Only bad thing is she went ahead with her own thread but I'm not super concerned because it's a charcoal suit so black thread looks fine.

Here's one of the sleeves now that it's done.

The buttons are kissing a little more than I would have liked but I don't care too much; overall happy with the look and the work. She got the width of the sticking on the holes knocked out in terms of what a Tom Ford should look like. Excited to wear it soon!

Thanks again for all the help on this!
