I plan to make the San Diego Coat (pattern by Sewing Workshop) with Vine Ripe Double Cloth. I will need 3 or 4, probably 5/8 to 3/4" size. This will be casual, car coat lenth, and will be worn to work. Do you have suggestions for a button? I'd like to avoid a shiny metal.

Thank you

I checked the buttons today. Would you consider one that was a bit of a statement? We have a button called Fig Tree that looks smashing with this fabric. The color red is very close and the ivory outline motif is striking. Here's the link to the product page in our web store. http://store.sawyerbrook.com/Templates/frmTemplateP.asp?CatalogID=3236&Zoom=Yes&SubFolderId=1
Others you could consider are Topograph

or
Contempo

Good idea! I had thought about making a statement with this jacket. Your recommendation is perfect - Thank you! I also like Contempo, but I think I'll go with the impact of Fig Tree.

I appreciate your suggestions.

WOW!

I checked the Fig Tree button on the Vine Ripe Double fabric before I tucked them in your package. You are going to love them. The combination makes a tasteful statement!

Hi - I just received the Fig Tree button. It's fabulous. I've ordered 4 more in a larger size because I think the smaller size will be great on the sleeve and the larger size will make a bolder statement along the Center Front. Thank you for the recommendation.
