Can anyone tell me what kind of buttons I need?

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a vintage chore coat that needs new buttons. As far as I can see, the coat did not use the traditional buttons that can simply be sewn on. They're sort of like cufflink buttons? Here's a pic of a button closure on the coat.

Hope somebody knows!

If the jacket is simply cotton as it appears in your image, the purpose of having removable buttons is make laundering easier.
I think these might be it! Thank you very much. We were thinking we would be out of luck finding these at the button stores, and I would have to wait for a vintage set to show up on eBay. I can always rely on the Lounge!
