I want to know the correct way to sew buttons on a man's leather coat. The buttons on the coat now however are ever loose and hanging , therefore it does not close tight enough to keep you warm.Can anyone help.

buttons on leather
By saying that the buttons are loose and hanging, I'm assuming that the threading is just coming undone. If that's the case, it's best to follow the holes that are already there, provided the fabric of the jacket isn't too worn.
Other than that, there's no real special way to sew them on. You might want to use a nice heavy thread though, like a button-twist. This would give added strength. I use it on any coat that I'm sewing buttons on.
Hope that helps

I find sewing buttons on leather easy enough if you use a small button on the back side or at least between the layers - front and facing.could use apiece of denim even. Dorothy G
