S STEINER Registered User Messages 1,161 11 Dec 2012 #1 I need to get 5 or 6 black or grey plastic buttons for a man's overcoat. 3 of the 4 buttons on it are damaged. I've been looking online without much success. I can get them from UK, but the postage costs double the buttons price. Anyone know of an Irish supplier of buttons?

W wbbs Registered User Messages 1,452 11 Dec 2012 #2 Hickeys fabric shops sell buttons. Also any shops that sell wool would probably have a good selection, my local woolworth's equivalent sells lots so small shops selling haberdashery type stuff have them too.

A AgathaC Guest 12 Dec 2012 #6 If there is a shop in your area that sells knitting wool-and they do seem to be making a comeback-they usually stock a good selection of buttons.
