Hello, I am in search of a source for large quantities of plain flat pewter buttons, both large (7/8 - 1 inch) small (9/16-1/2 inch) for Revolutionary War coats. I checked James Townsend the cost for the amount of buttons for just one coat is quite high. Does anyone know where I can get larger amounts for a lower cost? I would really appreciate it.

Sometimes they never show, but the tunic is long and full enough that I wear it as a dress and scarf anyway. Since I no longer have to conform, i. e.

I'm definitely voting for the Punjab because of the tunic, and thinking perhaps it might be some very formal outfit due to the heavy embroidery.
