...I'm talking about the metal ones that go right through the fabric:

Can you get them? Or do they have to be machined on the the factory?

Normal buttons keep falling off.

Thanks.

    yup, you can buy them at haberdashery shops.

    you either attach them with a wee plastic tool that comes with them and a hammer, but i find that pretty shit, so i've got special pliers with interchangeable fixings. they're not cheap if you only want to put one button on, but if you're a bit crafty they are a really worthwhile investment, cause they attach eyelets, snaps, press studs, rivets and all kinds of exciting-ness.
