I also ordered a classic Argyle jacket from the Kilt Store, with the waistcoat. But I don't like the buttons, they are to shiney, at least judging from the pics and what I have seen in stores. I remember some discussions about that on here, but couldn't find them, even with search.
Any way, what do you guys think about relacing them with either black or at the least not shiny silver buttons? I prefer something a bit more understated rather than flashy. Or maybe covering them with something? I may also look at removing the epaulets, pocket flaps (I don't like them on my suits either) and cuffs, but that will wait for the jacket to get here.
