I've always hated plastic buttons, so when I found these mother-of-pearl beauties, I decided to take control of my life, and say no more!
The last few weeks I've been replacing all the buttons on my summer plaids with the real deal, and I must say it's very satisfying. I choose complimentary thread (which many of my shirts didn't have before) and away I go. I've found I can do it on the phone, at the beach, during a conversation, in front of a movie. I learned how to do it from this video; no one teaches boys how to sew buttons as a kid, unless you go to a Montessori school.
Everything about them is better ... they feel cool to the touch, have a subtle luster the fakes lack, and they make basic shirts look like a million bucks.

Oh, i do that all the time, people look at me strangely when I tell them, but it is so worth it, luckily I had a grandmother who kept everything "just in case".
You can only fit so many buttons on a shirt. I love really fancy buttons. They are so cool.

Thanks for commenting on Nick Haus! I look forward to seeing what you have to say. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Anonymous comments -- too much spam, too much vituperative. Come out from behind the curtain, ye nasty Anonymous! Everyone else, please, I love to hear from you.
