I posted this in SW&D, but no luck. I want to replace the buttons on a shirt with Smoked MOP ones... where should I go? It's a button down collar shirt.

Also what size are the buttons on a standard shirt?

Banana Republic shirts used to have them all the time. They may still. In any case, you should be able to find an old one at a thrift store w/o much effort. Then just cut off the buttons and use them. If you feel bad about the waste and are lazy, like I would and am, you could donate the shirt and stick the old buttons in a bag in the shirt pocket.
