Hi Mike,

I may just buy a worn out combat jacket at the military surplus store, they have plenty of small slotted buttons and two larger ones for about 10 bucks and will remove the buttons and use those. I would prefer the dark marine ones but I didn't find a cheap worn out jacket in this color...

I'm not sure if I will install them on my TNF jacket or put snaps but I will definitely get rid of those annoying Velcro patches.
