Kiwis, where do you get your buttons?
Having spent three and a half years knitting a nice dark blue waistcoat for my husband, I want something more than the usual holey pieces of plastic for fasteners.

I'd like silvery buttons (pewter, steel, whatev) that will ornament the garment without being attention grabbers, and they need to be about 13mm.

Research suggests my options are:
Plastic.
Looks like metal but is plastic.
Looks like metal, may even be metal, but is 16mm/falsely claiming to be Chanel/falsely claiming to be "China Police".

I need about 10 or so. Suggestions?

Edited to add: am in Lower Hutt with chronic fatigue, so something local or that sells online is preferable.
