View submission: Thrifted navy blazer !

Great blazer. One thing though. See how the buttons are floppy. That’s because the shank is so big/high that the button rises too high on the cloth and dangles. I’d take it to a tailor and have them re-sew them to lay flat which would require a specific attachment technique. My recommendation is to get a new set of metal buttons with a smaller shank that will lay closer to the fabric. See your image 2. That shouldn’t happen.

Ahhh yes I was also thinking that! I wonder if they could keep the same buttons but just use a tighter stitch? I want to bring to a tailor regardless because it is a tad big on me
