New buttons for my new coat??

[Smittenk]

I have a 3/4 length camel coloured wool/cashmere coat and I am looking for new buttons. It is a really nice coat but has the ugliest buttons ever!:eek:

My question for you experiences sewers is where can I find some nice buttons to replace these hideous ones?!

Any fabric store. JoAnn's is one of the bigger chains.

Have you tried a local yarn store? I know my LYS always has great buttons (for knitters to put on their projects.)
You could also check some of the knitting and fabric websites. Greatknittingyarns.com has a few buttons, and M&J Trimming has bunches. Here's a link to theirs http://www.mjtrim.com/catalog/category.aspx?category=Buttons.

Thanks so much ladies! I will check those out.

If you like the military look, try the army surplus for some nice buttons or a thrift store. I'm actually about to modernize one of my own coats...
