Re: Correct Buttons for Shirt & Trousers
Don't forget to use the proper thread too!! If you care enough to find the correct replacement buttons, then I suggest using the proper thread as well. Cotton or linen will both work. If you want to be even more finicky you can find out which was available to the unit/persona you will be portraying. I suggest buying thread from a source that deals in authentic goods, or using a brand that has been given an authenticity "seal of approval" as it were. If you use a poly or polyblend thread it wont wear, discolor/fade , or settle like a natural fiber will. Just from a seamstress' P.O.V. and I didn't see anyone that mentioned it yet. If they did I apologize...
