I'm not a fan of them because they aren't shiny brass, they're antiqued brass which is less formal and I'd rather something that went with my silver sporran cantle, skian dubh, eventual shoe buckles etc...
I need domed 7/8th" silvertoned buttons with a Celtic design that also come in a smaller version 1/2" or so, for the epaulettes. I'll look at some of those links...
