Hardware anyone? (Buttons, rivets, and zippers oh my.)

[rnrswitch]

Come on Roy. You can't just post some pics without saying where they are from. Damn rookie.

Tried to rep ya, but "must spread." I can't imagine having rep'd you before. What with all your worthless posts over there in the ROY denim thread.

I wonder if that 1905 Sunset coat is what I saw at Nordstroms Rack. It seemed like it couldn't decide if it was a shirt or a chore coat, and the proportions were kind of funny and shapeless. It didn't really capture that old time zeitgeist. Other than that (and that it was a small) I might have picked it up. I almost did anyhow just for the buttons and the label. But then I came to my senses.

I'm scared by how stimulated I am by that photo

[rnrswitch]

Dude, those are nuts. Which button on the jacket is the super rusted one? Is there a good explanation as to why that one is rusted to all hell and some of the others are just slightly rusted?

[roy6]

Rnr- the rustier button is second up from the bottom on the placket. All of the buttons have some rust & patina, but this one is a lot more gone, for some reason.

The jacket had some bleach work done on it at some point- I wonder if that could have accelerated the process? The rest of the jacket is in really solid shape.

Thanks mrswitch, The ones on the 201s were all natural. The 209s and the 333s were pre-distressed and came like that, Both the 209 coveralls and the 333s were only available in pre distressed at the time I bought them but I think they were done really well. I usually prefer to break in my own.

More 201 hardware

[ahaha]

thought i'd share my rust:

edit: does anyone know where I could get such buttons online? thinking of taking the plunge on suspenders and I need some nice hardware

[airfrogusmc]

Why not get a pair of 20s 201s, 1880 Knappaves which are killer or 1915 501s which have killer cone denim?

[ahaha]

^ they do look awesome, but I'm really not in on the idea of another pair for years to come... but thanks

1915 501xx LVC - this is what the top button and suspender buttons look like.

button fly buttons - my favorite

back pocket rivet - hammered myself cause LVC didn't take the time to do it. still look great though.

river junction replacement buckle - the LVC buckle wasn't properly made.

while I was at it I figured I'd get the samurai s5000vx buttons too.

back of top button - completely rusted.

Hey cheap, curious as to the circa on those hercules.
