Since I do fit-modeling for jackets I've gotten to the point where I can barely buy shitty cheap jackets anymore because I detect ill-shaped arm-holes, cross-shoulder width issues, etc.
I should also state that these pyramid-stud shaped buttons costed more than the whole jacket. I had to buy 12 buttons. I went to M&J Trimmings, which is kind-of a tourist destination, so that wasn't my best economical decision but it's super close to work.

After - So Confident! Total Love:
I sewed the buttons on my Friday night flight to Raleigh. I trotted up to the gate just in time for the "Final Boarding Call" then we were 3rd in line for take-off and I had six changed-out by the time the plane took off. There were 12 total.
Lesson learned - Button refreshers are amazing and it's a great idea to do something boring like sewing 12 buttons on a plane because you are trapped in there with nothing else to do but listen to your iPod and sew!
Here's detail of these sexy buttons:
