I am at a Quandary.

They have been great so far, sending me production notes and pics. Final casting is done and ready for the plating shop.

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Are the buttons Silver or Gold? I cannot tell. I hope they are a tarnished gold when all is said and done. Silver buttons are going to clash noticibly.

[Lady Gryphon]

I think he asked for an Antique Silver, nothing shiny.  But I'll let him tell you for sure.   But we have them coming that is a positive thing.

[Captain Teague]

Yes they are supposed to be antique silver, per the pic I sent.




Hope that will work, as this pic is supposed to be the original buttons used. If not, maybe I can get them to plate in another color.

[Kate XXXXXX]

We had a couple of those for a job recently.  Very nice they are too.

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Antigue Silver might work. It all depends how close you want the Teague Coat to look to the Original.

[Captain Teague]

I emailed them that pic and asked what they thought and if they thought gold was better to do those and I will pay extra if needed.

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Let mke know too because I will need 3 and 1/2 dozen of those buttons for the Teague Coat I will be doing for an August 2012 wedding.

[Captain Teague]

Yep, I know you need them for another coat and want you verrah happy with them as well. 


Not to mention I will be wanting to work out a deal with a couple Pirate stuff vendors so I do not get stuck with the whole lot. 

[Lady Isabella]

Nice buttons! I am sure you will have no problem peddling what you don't use.

[Captain Teague]

Well, they don't do gold, at least not antiqued, it is shiny. So I ordered them in antique brass instead.

This is their color card.

I think that sounds better anyway, the originals don't look like shiny gold at all. Looking forward to see the final result!

[Captain Teague]

They were shipped last night. (overseas time zone )

Final pic, sorry it is kind of a bad image, but I get the idea:




Original pic I had sent them when ordering:




I think they did a great job. Now just to check the sturdiness and overall quality when they get here. 

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Gorgeous!!!

[Captain Teague]

Buttons are in. And they look awesome. I tried as hard as I could to bend one with my fingers and it laughed at me. The back yoke looks just as sturdy. They LOOK small, but I matched them up to the Pirate coat I have already and it is just a teeny bit smaller than those. Lady Kathleen, I will get my coats worth and your other request of buttons to you as soon as we get a break in the Holiday chaos to do so.

Anyone else, let me know as I have a lot of extras and I am not greedy. A dollar apiece.
