I want to make a black Prince Charlie jacket for Mark to go with the kilt I will be making. Does anyone have an inexpensive source for the square buttons or a suggestion on how to create them? Does any member have an old rag-tag Charlie jacket and are willing to sell the buttons for a thrifty price?

I ordered the Folkwear pattern. If I can't afford the buttons, then I will ask Mark to make his own buttons in his ceramics class. Or perhaps my husband can use his welder to cut some plain buttons out of aluminum. I think the craft shops sell inexpensive button backs. I would rather find some of the real buttons for sale at an affordable price, but I guess we could put round silver buttons on it. I really like those square buttons, though. Any suggestions?
