Buzz Rickson William Gibson Pea Coat replacement buttons (anchor 13 stars)

[ikonenmagazin]

Greetings from Germany. I have bought the Buzz Rickson William Gibson Pea Coat some years ago and now the catastrophe has happened: I lost one of the big 13 stars buttons on the front. As it turns out: These are special sized historical spec buttons, no chance to get even one replacement at the moment. Does anyone have a similar problem? How did you handle it?

Maybe someone could 3D print one for you.

I would take a picture of one of the remaining buttons and do a Google Image search. Maybe there are some out there. If not, replace them all with some other historically accurate buttons.

You'd have to use a proxy to get it from Japan, the button doesn't cost much but all the fees will add up.

Also search on Ebay or Etsy, they're out there.

Yes, I have found them on eBay before.
