Best Match by Mail
In addition to matching buttons, thread, interfacing, linings, and zippers to any order from our mailings or our online store, we can find the Best Match for any garment your are constructing. Simply send us a swatch of your fabric or yarn and an experienced sewer will find the perfect match!
Along with your swatch, please tell us what you are making (short jacket, classic blazer, one button unstructured jacket, skirt buttons down the side, etc.) and what "look" you're going for, i.e. dressy or casual, contrast or blend, artistic statement or subtle sophistication... It is helpful to give a size range for buttons and zippers and a price range for any of our products.
For Best Match by Mail, please send your swatch and instructions to:
Sawyer Brook Distinctive Fabrics
P.O. Box 700W
Clinton, MA 01510-0813
As with all our products, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Back to topBest Match Linings, Interfacings and Zippers
Our stock of lining fabrics and interfacing fabrics is available for you to view and order in our online store. However, sometimes our customers wish to have one of our experienced sewers match linings or interfacings in person to find the perfect match for your fabric order. We also carry a 9" and 22" zippers that we can match according to your instructions.
Back to topBest Match Buttons
Many of our buttons are available to view and buy right here through our online store (see Distinctive Buttons). But our selection of unique designer buttons does not stop there! We have an expansive collection of exquisite buttons from classy basics to rare treasures that wear like jewelry. Per your instructions, our experienced sewers can search through our collection for the perfect button to match your garment!
Subscribers: Many of our buttons are chosen to work with the fabrics offered in our seasonal fabric swatch mailings. If you are a subscriber and are looking for the perfect match for one of our subscription fabrics, please ask us to find the Best Match for you.
Our buttons are priced individually (not carded) so you can choose the exact number you need. We suggest purchasing an extra since we cannot always guarantee continuity of stock. We will do our best to send you the button which best meets your criteria. As with all our products, your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not happy with our choice, just send the buttons back for a full refund. See our return policy.
We pride ourselves on having some of the most unusual, yet wearable buttons. We love the one-of-a-kind buttons, but many of our garments require a more basic look. We specialize in the "unusual" basic button. Our many satisfied customers tell us how pleased they are with this service. We highly recommend that you try "Best Match" with your next fabric order.
