I hope the pocket, flap, and lapel edges are double stitched and swelled.

Just have them made. Actually, I think something like this would capture your personality more:

Sounds sweet.

Those would be a lot of fun for a blazer, I would add "blondes, brunettes, redheads" in enamel colored letters around the girl silhouette

Oh, 25 or 30 years ago the mudflap girl would have captured my personality more. Do they actually exist as blazer buttons? These days, as a tired old man, I fear I must stand more on the dignity of age, whatever that is supposed to mean!

I fear that having enameled blazer buttons custom made might prove a bit dear for a man of modest means like myself.

Dayum, I wouldve totally put something like that into an odd jacket. I might relined an existing one! What is ya, some kind of proxy tease? ...I still want to see it.

Suck it up and buy a jacket from him. Spread the wealth. He is a good guy and it is a novelty piece anyway.
