60s Sport Coat Buttons?

[Retro Spectator]

I have this wonderful plaid 60s sport coat I got from a local flea market store last year. I would love to be able to wear it, but the middle button is broken. Where might I find a button that matches the other buttons to replace the broken one? Thanks!

I would like to mention that I searched Etsy and eBay and found nothing that would match, but I did find some 60s buttons that were the same shape. Problem: they were lilac!

On a side note, I would like to mention that somebody along the lines had the jacket dry cleaned, and presumably pressed. I feel that the "presser" pressed the lapels too wide as the top button is bent a bit from the lapel width.

The jacket.

Cracked button.

Here's an example of one of the good buttons.

P.S. I'm sorry the pictures look like the Loch Ness Monster.

I'm interested to hear if any Loungers have a proper name for the pattern. It's almost-but-not-quite a gun club check. I used to have an almost identical jacket, also purchased from a thrift store, which ended up going right back when I realized how heavy it really was and how little wear I'd get out of it. I think it was a popular enough pattern for a brief period in the 60s-70s to make similar examples a staple of Goodwill and Salvation Army stores near you.

Your easiest solution is to replace all three buttons with similar buttons (these ones are very
plain and unremarkable). You could probably buy or find a near wrecked 1960's/70's suit coat and use the buttons from that.

I'd call the pattern "gingham" if I didn't know any better. It's very unusual. But yeal. I'd just replace all the buttons if I were you. Sometimes, that's the most fun part: customization!
