What buttons should I replace the knotted leather ones on this tweed blazer I thrifted? I was thinking dark brown like this:

Why replace them?

 

[costanaconda]

I am missing one on the sleeves -- there is 3 on the left and 2 on the right. I suppose, I could cut one of the left and then it would be 2 and 2 Might be easier than paying to replace. I have to get the sleeves lengthened and the waist taken in a bit anyways.

I don't mind two buttons on the cuffs, but if you replace those, try to find very dark brown or burgundy leather knotted buttons.

I like the ones you found on Ebay, but if this is a 3-button blazer then you'd want a spare front button.

Almost perfect. Rear views?

Where can I get a decent overnight/weekend bag? Say £100-£200 range, preferably closer to the lower end.

No rear views; sorry. Didn't think of that at the time.

I have used the RedOxx airboss for the last 5 years and 250k miles. It still looks brand new. Highly recommended. http://www.redoxx.com/air-boss/91018/product

Fits a suit folded, and as long as you bundle pack, everything arrives safe.

Leather, canvas, nylon, other? Wheels, no wheels? Available in store (where?) or online only? And etc.

"Decent" just isn't as specific as one might like.

Bean Boot owners: just bought the last pair in store last night. size 10. i am usually a size 11. bought the Bean Socks too. they are still...a bit loose. i can feel that they're slightly loose when i walk. not a ton, but maybe 1/4 - 1/3" from toe to front of boot.

should i try a size 9 (they didn't have any in stock so i'd have to order online - which is also back ordered)

thanks!

Yeah sorry, should have been more specific.

Leather or canvas preferably, though no problem with nylon necessarily. Probably no wheels. Either online, or available in stores in the UK.
