help me o hive mind: bulk buttons

[anotheranon]

My tentative next project is a POTC-style pirate coat. I'm using the Simplicity POTC pattern from a few years back.

Which requires 28(!) 1-1 1/4" shank metal buttons.

Does anyone know where I could find that many at that size? Ebay is finding some lots that large, but they're all too small. I'm not aiming for historical accuracy.

If the other links don't have what you need, I've a buttons (and beads) supplier list in the fibre arts section of my webpage.

There's also a collection of Pirate Gear & Garb links at the Talk Like a Pirate website.
