UK equivalent of Waverly strap buttons

I want to put a strap button on my nice new acoustic.  I can’t really discern between cheap and better ones on eBay, Amazon etc.  but I’ve seen Waverly buttons on stewmac which look fab. Except at £9 that’s fine, but £30 shipping from stewmac plus any customs taxes etc makes them very pricey.

anyone have any recommendations for UK equivalents which add a bit of quality ?

    JP carry them.  The wood ones are lovely but be warned, if they are not installed perfectly parallel to the surface they can break the lip that rests against the guita when they are screwed down. 

    I may have one or two in my parts box, drop me a Pm and I’ll check later today.

    I get my bridge pins, nuts, saddles etc  from Small Wonder in East Sussex.

    I don't know if they have strap buttons cos I never use 'em but wouldn't hurt to check.

    You're right that it's worth spending money on these. Cheap strap buttons can really spoil an otherwise nice guitar.

    No, I'm not joking and I know it's a bit shallow, but... they just do.
