I have a blazer and a suit both on horn.

Blazer on the left, suit on the right.

The black shiny suit buttons look plastic but I dont think they are(corneliani mainline).

The sleeves are still unfinished so now would be the time to swap buttons.

Thinking something like:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/168827772/smoke-mother-of-pearl-buttons-for-suit

Considering the same sort of buttons for the blazer.

My concern is it may be too flashy for the suit and I expect people to say maybe just leave the blazer alone.

Is etsy the best spot for buttons?

Thanks guys.
