Molly Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I just bought a new bright red coat! The buttons are also red (in the same fabric, kind of boring) and I want to change them. Please help me choose a button! You can say none of them. I've only looked at one website!
Gentleben Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I just bought a new bright red coat! The buttons are also red (in the same fabric, kind of boring) and I want to change them. Please help me choose a button! [spoiler="BUTTONS Just going by the buttons you have posted I quite like this design, But ideally with either a black or red coloured middle. Have you thought about just brownsing your local markets for buttons, your bound to find something to really grab your attention instead of using a website-if you wear the coat as well you can match the buttons against your coat.
Paj! Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 The top ones are jokiest, as they look like the symbol might mean something, and you then make shit to your friends and family about cults etc.
Ramar Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 If any these: But I thought they were all a bit pants.
SPAMBOT4000 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Got any pics of the bright red coat so we can fully imagine the button awesomeness?
Coolness Bears Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 My pick is Chocolate buttons that way you can have a snack if you get hungry and they are easy to replace.
Retro_Link Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) The first ones.Agreed. Out of the ones you've posted. Definately black buttons of some kind. What's the coat? Are these MA-HU-SIVE buttons were talking about here, or small little ones. If they are big, plain black ones would be nice enough. Edited November 10, 2009 by Retro_Link
MoogleViper Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I don't particularly like any of them but these ones are incredibly grannyish. So definitely not these.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I most definitely prefer the first. I would even say they would look good without the shape. But then again I like a simple style.
Molly Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 To The Forum Management: Sewing is creative. Losers. Thanks for the feedback lovely people. I'm gonna wear it tonight and see what people say. When I ask them about my buttons. Hmm. Gentleben: I did think about going to a market/shop but I don't know anywhere in the local area that actually sells buttons. Moogle: I am a granny. Leave me be.

Gentleben: I did think about going to a market/shop but I don't know anywhere in the local area that actually sells buttons. Moogle: I am a granny. Leave me be. The third one. Don't listen to anyone else. Trust me. I will re-inforce my point when I see the coat. Properly.
Goafer Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I say make some rad as fuck buttons out of something that isn't supposed to be a button. Like coins or guitar picks. That said, if I had my way, I'd be dressed like something out of Mad Max/Tank Girl so it's probably best to ignore my views.

I moved it - though mostly because you'd get more attention with the thread here :P Plus - no.
Molly Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Ha! I moved it - though mostly because you'd get more attention with the thread here :P Plus - no. Come on now, I hate attention No what? No to all of them? I'm starting to think that myself. If I do this, I need to be sure. It's like choosing a husband.
Retro_Link Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just do a Gok Wan and stick a massive belt round it... belts seems to be his answer to literally everything!
weeyellowbloke Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Strange on, looks like a chicken with a hole in it's head. 5/10 Pretty, but maybe a bit oldlady-ish 7/10 I like it, but with that light it looks like an evil face. 8/10 Ooh, sort of organic like a fossil shell. 9/10 Lovely pattern, not sure if it would go with red though. 7/10 It's the moon! 6/10 Fancy, but maybe too fancy. 7/10 In conclusion, after those in depth reviews, I choose number 4. Note I am not known for my excellent fashion choices.
Daft Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Top ones. Red coat, black buttons with a strike of gold. Classic. Don't listen to anyone else.
Ashley Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Where does one buy new coat buttons? One of mine fell off on a walk and lost it But yes, first one.
Shorty Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Where does one buy new coat buttons? One of mine fell off on a walk and lost it Did you check to see if there's a spare attached to the label? OP: I don't really like any of them, sorry!
