accurate jack sparrow replica

[Ikasu]

I've been browsing for about 6 hours now with no luck but I stumbled across this site through google. I'm just hoping someone here can help me since I'm literally about to tear my hair our after searching for so long.

I'm currently making a EXACT replica costume of the good old Captain Jack Sparrow. I've been ordering parts and going fabric shopping tomorow but I can't find these buttons anywhere! I've found the silversmith buttons for the vest but for the actual coat is near impossible..I was hoping someone here knows a site or something similar I can get. Here's a few images of the real costume buttons.

Those are from the real costume that was worn by Johnny Depp...

so far I've only found these qhich are quite similar but can be slightly modified...

But the problem is the person who makes that costume is not selling the buttons atm...so I have to look around and find a place I can get similar buttons or hopefully the same ones that are used int he real costume....

Thanks for taking the time to read this everyone....I will end the post with a hearty ARGGG!...lol..

whatever floats your boat....

I think your best bet would be joining the POTC costume forum on Yahoo Groups. If they haven't solved your problem, no one has.

=D Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Those buttons are pretty much perfect just gotta modify them. Thanks for the help! . If anyone has any other information that would be helpful too...going to order a number of different ones and test'em to see what I get as the best result for the costume.
