New costume for Dragon Con

[Risu]

I'm starting early planning for next year's Dragon Con, and I'm going to be putting together a different famous pirate costume, don't want to say who just yet, though. What I'm looking for right now is coat buttons. I haven't had much luck, but I'm sure if it's out there, you all would know. The perfect buttons would be 1.25"-1.5" in diameter, and be the same style as Jack's coat buttons, but in a perfect world maybe a bit flatter. Just your basic domed gold button with a lip around the edge. A design on the button wouldn't be the end of the world, but no horses or lions or seals (not the animal). Unlike a Jack coat, I only need 10 buttons for mine, luckily. Anybody know where I could find them?

Also, if anybody is feeling particularly helpful, the costume has a 3" belt with a very large brass/gold belt buckle on it. Looks to be the standard rectangular buckle with cut off corners, but haven't found anything likethat over 1.5", much less 3".

hard to recommend buttons without a picture mate, or a hint, or an inkling....

I thought the description was pretty thorough, but here's a picture. It's animated, so exact details are negotiable. The size is definitely between 1.25" and 1.5", though.

I'd try Jas. Townsend and Son. That's where I got the buttons for my frock coat, which are flatter than the high domed screen accurate ones but were close enough for my tastes. They have a few sizes to pick from.

Those look perfect, and the price isn't bad, either, but I don't think they're big enough at just 1".

I did some more research with the info they had in their video, looking for French marine buttons, and found a number of places selling them, the largest of which are 1 1/8". I guess that will have to do.

So I guess that just leaves the other part. Anybody know where I could find a brass belt buckle for a 3" belt?
