So the middle/crucial button on my 3 roll 2 SC came off (threads busted). Is this something any ol' seamstress at the corner cleaners can put back on or I need to seek myself a reliable tailor (of which there is one in the area)?

It's a cashmere full canvas dealie if that makes a difference at all.

Thanks!

Surely you can do this.

Unfortunately, I have no basic sewing skills. I wouldn't mind practicing but probably not on this particular jacket. Thanks - I think I have enough to go on to figure out what I want to do.

Anyone should be able to do this. Sewing a button is one of the easiest things to do. You just have to make sure whoever sews the button knows how to shank it. My dry cleaner doesn't know how. And the buttons need to be sewn on in the same pattern as the others.
