Buttons for Jeans
« on: March 23, 2019, 13:22:46 PM »
I'm making some denim trousers (True Bias Lander Pants). They do up with visible buttons at the front.

I want to buy jeans buttons for them, and I also need to be able to order them and get them quite quickly.

Can anyone recommend a source, a particular type, anything to avoid. I'm a bit lost.

This is a link the the pattern (link removed)

Thank you.

The pattern says 5/8" buttons = 16mm.  Just put 16mm jeans buttons inot AMazon and lots come up, some eligible for Prime so there shouldn't be any delay in getting them.

There are also kits that have the die to use with a hammer, too on Amazon to make inserting them easier.
