Hello again, I don't seem to be able to get through to you privately on this site, although it used to work. Anyway, I have checked the coat and found that it is worn through in a couple of places and I do not think that it is really repairable after all. Buttons were not the main job!I shall carry on sorting out and hopefully will find other clothes currently squirrelled away, which I shall offer to you.So, currently, apologies. Thank you for the info.
