speaking of buttons what type of thread do people recommend for stitching on coat/blazer buttons? I have a MA Julius blazer with a removable pair of buttons held together by a piece of thread, I'd like to replace the thread to tie them closer together to pinch the jacket in the waist a tad.

a = item's value + shipping from the store to proxy + shipping to you
you pay: a + a*proxy_fee
You don't have to worry about customs because the mark down the declared value.
Contact them and they will further instruct you....bombing the bass, blasting the beat
