Where can I buy some dark cobalt/navy mop shirt buttons? 3mm thick x 3.5/8" wide. Not sure what "L"/ligne size that maps to. I may want to get some custom dyed to get exactly the color/shade I'm looking for:

I like how the color is a dark vivid navy in the shade but then shows off its iridescence in the light without being overly colorful.

I wasn't able to find any dark blue mop buttons that I liked so I'm having some custom made. I should receive them by the end of next month. Will post pics :)

You certainly have some esoteric questions but they might better be described a much ado about nothing. I assume that you have a dry cleaner on hand who won't damage these buttons - or is that the next question?

@GBR are you more of a tank top and cut off jean shorts type of guy?

I was just in the Scabal store on Savile Row last week and they had a large bin of dark cobalt MOP buttons, most of them appeared to be shirt button size. I bought several sets of cobalt MOP suit buttons on eBay, and they are pretty nice.
