So, if you did brass buttons, what would you have on them?Originally Posted by mafoofan
I do have brass buttons, and they have what looks like a matte machine-turned finish. Traditional, but not so "Ahoy, captain!"

Can it have a coat hanger on it? Or have we lost the copyright?

How about bas-relief safari guy with pith helmet, pipe, and shorts smoking in his back yard?
Or a young woman's behind in low cut jeans, and engraved tatoo emerging out of the belt line?

So, SF blazer buttons it is. There ain't nothing some elbow grease, Google image search, and Photoshop can't get done in one evening.

They also have a lot of other options and monogrammed buttons.

When you get gold/brass buttons on your blazer, do you use plain ones or ones with an emblem? If the latter, what emblem do you use? Would it be cheesy to use the crest from your university?Originally Posted by mafoofan

You could do what I did -- my tailor happened to have a spare prep-school set: http://www.rutgersprep.org/
I did not attend. In fact, if not for the buttons, I wouldn't have known of that school's existence (I found out by looking up the motto on the interwebz). The buttons look nice and minimize the "flashy-gold" look many wish to avoid.
In fact, I am wearing it today at the office.

Some weeks I practically live in my navy MTM blazer. I'd like to think it is not a bad thing.
