I just purchased a DB RLBL NWT solid navy suit on this forum. I was a little concerned about the fit, but the jacket actually fits me perfectly and I am overall happy with my purchase.
However, (there is always a but) I was disapointed with the buttons. Most of my suits are BBGF which uses only horn buttons. For that matter, even my BBBF shirts have MOP buttons. So, RL using shiny, black buttons on their second highest line was surprising.
When I bring it in to get tailored, the buttons will be changed out. I'm wondering where is a good place to get quality buttons.
Ebay has buttons, but I'm unsure about quality and I wanted to know if anyone had experience with a particular seller.
There is a seller on this forum but at $5 a button plus shipping, he seems a little pricy. Maybe it is worth it so any feedback on that would be great.
Any other place to buy buttons and what to look for would be helpful.
The second issue is the color. I will probably only wear this suit with brown shoes and I was wondering if dark brown > black.
