Am I the only one who isn't fond of "thick" buttons?Originally Posted by RSS
No. I think it's actually very Big Time and Inner Circle to dismiss thick buttons. I like 'em because they feel nice and meaty between my fingers. Weird? No. Only natural.

The best buttons are the ones Kabbaz uses, which are thick but not crazy thick, and are nicely rounded at the edges and back so they are easy to manipulate.
The worst are the ones Borrelli uses, which are too damned thick for their tiny buttonholes and which have very sharp edges that dig into your fingers when you try to press them through.
The Gevena button is decent. Thin, but not wafer-thin and breakable.
The Paris button is the worst. Super thin and breaks with ease. Junk. And those are the MOP ones. Sometimes they give you plastic and tell you it is MOP.

One of these days I have to try him ... if he'll accept me as a client ... and I can come up with the cash.

I hear you. I have a linen shirt of theirs (love the color and cloth) but I get so very frustrated when trying to button that shirt.

I have to warn you... I believe he currently only accepts orders placed through the Ask Andy About Clothes Interchange subforum.

Ask Andy ... is that a euphemism for AskKabbazAboutClothing?
