Looking for sleeve buttons

[dontpanicbobby]

It's a Junior ROTC Coat from Massachusetts in the 1990's.
Anybody know where to find them?

Ebay I think.

I've never actually purchased anything from eBay.

Google is your friend .... unless it's trying to sell your information to the Russians.

Try "ROTC buttons". That's what you're looking for isn't it?

I know Ebay can be a crap shoot for fakes and duffs with phones, but on the other hand I think something like buttons should be safe.

You might check with the maker and query the year produced, they might be able to lead you in a positive direction.

Maybe if you had a surplus store to check into, we have one down here that specialized into that type, of uniforms.

Boston has an Army/Navy store but there is very little military surplus there. I asked what info they had on Canadian Air Force coats...
I swear I don't think the clerk knew Canada has an Air Force.

Of course they do ...

Those particular fighters are seldom seen in Downtown Crossing. You may encounter some once you enter Back Bay.

The thing about the Canadian coat is that it had a feature I had never encountered before or since.
