MOP Buttons on Navy Blazer

[musicguy]

I just received some nice white MOP buttons for a jacket. I'm thinking about switching out my natural horn buttons for the white MOP. What do you think? If I do, should I use white or navy thread? I'm thinking it might be a nice look for the warmer weather but concerned it might only work on linen or cotton blazers.

I'm trying to find some white MOP buttons, care to share where you got them from?

I think they look nice on a blue blazer, I'm planning on swapping mine out.

White MOP looks good on navy blazers. I have a them ona linen blazer and a light weight wool blazer. YOu can't go wrong with them.

I think I recall PocketSquareGuy having one, and it looked very sharp!

Looks like do it is winning! MrK I've seen your blazers and they look great.

White or navy thread?

White, for sure. It will make them look more like shanked buttons, which we are all used to seeing on a blazer.

Anyone have pics of what this would look like? I'm interested to see.

Just got a Trussini navy sport coat from Boyds in Philly with MOP buttons - looks great. It's currently being tailored but I will post pics next week when I pick it up.

BB's take on it. Although the fit looks spectacularly boring.
