The hardware.
It would be almost impossible to find the exact same parts as on the original Montgomery Ward 101, but my priority was to use period correct hardware. The buttons, rivets and buckle are all made of copper-plated or copper-covered steel, just like those on the original jacket.

A suspender button on a 1910s-inspired pair I made in 1998. I like how it's lost most of its black paint over the years.

My favorite button. I really like the S wire!
