According to Jeffery Diduch, unfortunately, Gütermann Agreman Gimp Buttonhole Thread is no longer made. He asks on his blog where in the world a similar gimp can be found. https://robertjeffery.us/tuttofatto.../save-the-buttonholes/
Does anyone have a good source for a similar gimp?
Thanks

You can buy it from Kenton Trimmings. That's where I've bought it.

Seems now it's sold in 1-10 metres. Whereas I previously got an entire reel.
You can still buy reels from B & B, but they only seem to have a few colours now (mostly in very large reels, which I don't recall seeing before), whereas they used to have dozens in 100m reels...

Oh, and the link the Jeffery's blog seems to be broken... The correct link is here: https://robertjeffery.us/tuttofattoamano/save-the-buttonholes/
I only have black and grey anyway. I bought some 10m reels in a few other colours (blue, maroon, dark green) which I found at a warehouse, but apart from some of the blue I've barely used those.
I'll likely just buy black and grey again when I need to. Good to know they can be found at B&B.
Good that I bought reels black and grey 4 years ago. Really bad it is gone.
Has anyone used Gutermann elastic thread for gimp?

I don't think that elastic would be functional, but I have not tried it.
Elastic degrades over time, so I am not sure how that would look longterm.
I found some colors of Gütermann Agreman Gimp Buttonhole Thread on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/ca/search?q=gutermann%20gimp

Funny, I literally just purchased some Gütermann Gimp from Etsy 8)
On Etsy? That must be "Cloning Couture"?
