If you want the exact, well sorta the exact date, go to the link in my post above. It is also a sticky on the first page of the Outerwear section. For a good selection of buttons, see the link below:

I also have a peacoat I want to convert to a reefer. Has anyone had any luck ordering buttons directly from Waterbury? I emailed them to ask about minimum orders, and they never responded. I have a connection in the navy who checked the Naval Exchange, and he wrote that the 1" (40 ligne) buttons are $5 each. Looking for a less expensive source, I have checked eBay, though have only found one set in the last few weeks.
While not the route I want to go, 7/8" buttons (35 ligne) are also allowed by Navy regulations, and these are plentiful on eBay.
