Thrift Score Thursday

Table of Contents

This week’s thrift score came in the form of a gorgeous leather coat with a missing button!

Bummer. :/

It was only $10, so I scooped it up anywho!

When I got it home, I dug through my tins of buttons, looking for 4 that were the right size…

Something’s gotta work…right???

Sadly, I didn’t have any more than 3 matching buttons that were the right size. :/

No worries! I just removed one of the original buttons, and filled in the gaps with these guys:

Aren’t they awesome?

I think they’ll do nicely! 🙂

Check it out now! 🙂

Can you tell I’m pleased? 🙂

I’m seriously digging on this coat! 🙂

Cheers!

Is it red or brown? Its kind of hard to tell from one pic to the next. Either way, I think it is a gorgeous find and a great way to fix a missing button. Thanks for the continued inspiration!

It always amazes me that people will throw out something so expensive because it is short one button! Ridiculous!

I just got one so simar from Goodwill near me! Same reddish brown, long, belted. Mine was $20, Wilsons brand, n fits me better than anything has ever! Had all the buttons, nothing wrong at all with it. Even has cool shoulders as there is this fin flap thing running down. So in love with it!

The exact buttons will show up soon. Things you put into your consciousness always do when you least expect them.

I love the jacket … but I’m not so sure about the buttons.

So gorgeous! I scored a coat very similar to this one a few years back. It was missing a button on one of the little sleeve/cuff wraps. Not sure of the technical term for that one. But upon further examination—an extra button was still sewn into the seam of the lining! The coat was in the “Long Coat” section of that particular Goodwill store and as such was supposed to be $10. I showed the missing button part to the cashier and she rang it up for $7. Seven dollars!!! Later I scored a leather blazer for $3. Just love the thrifting!!!

This coat is lovely can’t believe it was only a tenner!!! You don’t get finds like that in the UK
