I wanted to thank everyone who replied to my bulk big buttons post. I'm "memorizing" it for my own purposes and recommend it if you need lots of matching buttons.
Ultimately, I found what I was looking for at an 18th century supplier, 10 buttons/ $7. They're 1/8" smaller than the pattern calls for, but that many metal buttons are going to need extra backing so as not to drag the front of the coat down, and they're shiny so I'm sure they'll still show up :P
Also noting for future use: bronze half-dome buttons, suitable for my dream hussar/Adam Ant jacket or other military-inspired outerwear.
