Hi Emma, that would be great, if you don't mind. I've been looking a different press stud buttons, trying to pick the correct size and work out what ones would be the best colour. Gold or antique brass. Of course they won't have the Guess logo, but will do I guess
Your cap cleaned up nice! Great work!

Hey Maton, Both jacket has buttons of 1.5cm in diameter. They both have an antique brass colour in my opinion. Class-5 buttons are made in plastic actually!

Hi Emma, thank you very much. I really appreciate your help. I have ordered some 15mm antique brass and silver press stud buttons. They come as a set of mixed colours actually, so must be a thing on most jackets. From what I can see they are Brass coloured one side (left) and silver on the other (right)? Is that the same as on your Guess jacket? Are there 11 buttons in total? 5 down the front, 2 on each pocket and 1 on each cuff. Interesting that the class-5 buttons are plastic. Brass coloured one side and black on the other.

Awesome collection, where in the world did you find those walkie-talkies, still in packaging.
How long did it take you to get all of it?

I think it's the one!! OMG! Where did you find that? haha! I'm jealous
@Raiders March > It took me almost 3 years to gather all of this! Some item required a lot of patience!
@maton > Yes, you're correct about the number of buttons! I believe the buttons are just entirely one colour, evenly.

EBay... just got lucky with it. Previously I had a newer inaccurate one that looked vintage. Real happy to have found it.
I have been looking even after the purchase of the one I found and never seen it
It might have been locked for the US only, there are some items you can't see according to you ip sometimes! Well at least we know it does really exist xDformula388

I found it while doing a search for I think "mountain dew snap back" sometimes it's the strange searches that yield the best results.
Emma have you pursued a replica of the Gibson ES 335? I contacted the seller brettyboy from the bttf guitar thread talked about and messaged them to see if they could make an accurate replica. They offer a similar guitar upfront but it isn't as accurate as sticklers would like. But they offer customization. I haven't gotten anything back yet but I will make sure to give updates on it. I should have an answer by tomorrow.
Yeah, I did look for that, but yeah, I don't recall seeing it! Oh well! I hope I'll find another one
At least, it went to a fellow collector like you
Just purchased this from aliexpress. I asked the seller to move the black and white knob a little further up, make the pickups gold, and make the gold screws standard grey ones. I will buy the black and gold top hat knobs second hand. Emma if you're looking for the best replica for the money I would go with this guitar.

MitasTouch you and Emma take BTTF collecting to a whole other level. Lol
Emma, I'm surprised that you haven't tracked down Marty's purple Calvin Klein underwear...

You can talk Brad! You're the same!
MitasTouch, I don't really have the money for the guitars just now, I can't even manage to buy an accoustic for myself as I kinda miss playing my Ibanez (as it stayed in France)...

There is one thing I am not clear on about the guitar. In most pictures for the black and white knob, the white part looks gold. There is only one picture of it being white and it's the one where MJF is playing it with just a white t shirt and a cigarette. Probably just a behind the scenes thing. I'm going to go ahead and see if I can request a gold knob. I also requested for the black switch above one of the knobs be changed to white.

Thank you. It was $308 shipped. They're even doing a few custom tweaks for free.
One sticker down! I should receive a grip tape on Thursday, hopefully, I'll do this right What do you guys think?
For a reminder, this is how my board looked before:
