I recently thrifted a vintage military style (i.e., epaulets, grenade rings, rear kick pleat, belt, etc) double breasted leather trench coat in oxblood (red/brown). [see attached photo]
It currently has dark brown (with hint of red) wooden (I think) buttons. However, one of the large/main ones is missing. Since I was never too fond of the current buttons anyway, this seems like a good reason to replace them all.
What type (horn?) and color button would work with an oxblood colored leather DB trench? Ideally, the buttons would add some visual interest to the coat without going over the top.
Recommendations for replacements would be appreciated.
