Where to buy good quality buttons?

[LoraPiano]

I am changing the buttons on a jacket. Bought buttons from Amazon and they were very plastic-y and cheap looking. Also tried etsy. More expensive, same quality likely from China.

Just looking for metal buttons.

For online try Hobbycraft or John Lewis. If you have a small independent fabric or knitting shop in the area that will be your best bet. You can usually buy buttons individually and there will be more choice.

Try looking in a charity shop. Ignore what the buttons are attached to - it doesn't matter that it's not a jacket / it's the wrong colour / it's not your size / etc / etc.
Just concentrate on the style, size and number of buttons.
The sale-rail can be brilliant.

Thanks both.
@senua brilliant idea!

I buy from my local fabric shop, huge range and you can feel them before buying!

EBay can have great vintage buttons.

Oh lordy that Button Queen website. Am eyeing up every jacket I own

This!

I have a huge jam jar of buttons that I have removed from clothes that go to the recycling bin. I am sure they will come in handy one day!
But repurposing from a charity shop item is a great idea.
