Replacing Suit Buttons - question on appropriate sizes

Gentlemen,

I have been lurking here for a little while and have found this forum to be an extremely useful resource. I am in need of some help selecting the appropriate size replacement buttons for a navy suit.

I am interested in these buttons: https://www.britexfabrics.com/butto...com/buttons/corozo-nut/four-hole-midnight-navy-corozo-button-made-in-italy.html

As far as I can tell, my other suit buttons are size 11/16 (ligne 28) for the sleeves and pants and 13/16 (ligne 32) for the jacket front. The 11/16 size is not an option for this button. I'm wondering which size would be best for the sleeves, either the 5/8 (ligne 24) or the 3/4 (ligne 30)? The size 13/16 ligne 32 buttons are available.

I did try using the search feature first, but was unable to come up with anything to specifically address my question. Thank you.

Sorry, Britex has a limited selection. And I live in SF. Better get yourself to Tender Buttons on E 62 at Lex in NYC. Button Heaven. Dropped over $100.00 there this holiday season.

There ARE standard button sizes for the front of jackets (and for sleeves as well) and there are variations thereof. TB has them all.

+1 You live 30 minutes from the Lincoln Tunnel. Why are you making compromises? Most people on this forum would kill to have the ease of shopping and range of choices avaiilable to you.
