I've got an old Aquascutum navy peacoat with a missing button, and I'm having a heck of time finding a replacement. It's a 1" button, navy blue, with a raised anchor in the center. On top of the anchor is a raised "G". The button also has a rope design running around the border. I'd rather replace the missing one instead of replacing them all, since this was my grandfather's coat and I wear it all the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is just a suggestion. Get some of that clay that you can make a mould of the button with. It can be bought for using with PMC. Press your button into it and let it set. Then soften some Fimo clay in Navy and press it in the mould and bake it has per instructions.
I made some buttons for a jacket I knitted in mohair. It was cream and I sewed some autumn leaves in coloured suede on it. I could not find buttons so I made some Fimo ones like ivy leaves. Shirley
