Wanted Soldier 95 Buttons

[Wild Thing]

Hi

Does anyone have any soldier 95 large buttons going spare.

I ideally need about 6 for a project I am working on.

Sure I can find a few bits to trade for them.

Cheers

Phill

When I saw the thread title, the thought crossed my mind that this was another MOD supply shortage.

Sad times.

In my experience good quality S95 buttons are like hens teeth!
If you can find them new then they cost the earth.
I have found the best source - other than buying trashed jackets at your surplus store (and then the buttons tend to be a bit "aged") - is the Web - tex repair kit/housewife.
Here you get several new buttons of various sizes plus their sew-on tapes and a general sewing kit for less than the price of 2 of the buttons alone at some sources!
If anyone knows of a cheap source of the buttons - for future reference - I too would be interested!

I would also be interested. In fact, so interested that I've been playing with the notion of making *antler* soldier 95 buttons!
