Where are they finding buttons so cheaply ? Even at wholesale warehouses, buttons are costing me more than velcro.

And on top of that, $1 per uniform cheaper ? Sounds like an $80,000 pair of pliers to me.

Seam ripper, needle & thread, I'll make it the way I want it.

Everyone should know how to sew, quite the lost art.

Gives you an even greater sense of freedom.

I love seeing it in old B&W WW I movies of the guys fixing or modifying uniforms and things just as a general day to day occurrence.

You want out of enemy prison?

Make an officers uniform and march out with your guards saluting and avoiding eye contact out of fear.
