[QUOTE="Carlos100, post: 503965, member: 6832"] I buy most of my jackets and coats off the rack, of course, and usually have to get them tailored so they fit correctly because, as we know, proper fit is crucial. However, one thing I discovered recently is that upgrading the buttons on jackets and coats really makes them look better at very little cost. Most off-the-rack coats, jackets, and cardigan sweaters from companies like J.Crew, BananaRepublic, Uniqlo, H&M, and other retailers of similar quality come with cheap-looking plastic buttons. Replacing the buttons with bone or horn buttons helps make the jacket look much more expensive. I've even gotten compliments on my buttons. Also, I buy buttons that are a mix of black and brown, so that they will match either black or brown shoes, making the clothing item more versatile. Below are pictures of buttons I've put on my clothes recently. They usually cost between $.50 to $.90 each and I ordered them online. You can sew the buttons on yourself or get your tailor to do it for you. Most tailors don't charge much for it. My local tailor often does it for me for free because I'm a loyal customer. [/QUOTE]
