I’m very new to kilting. I have an old velvet sports jacket that I want converting into a kilt jacket, having read the excellent advice on this forum. However, not being brave or clever enough to attempt the task myself, I intend to take it to my tailor with crystal clear instructions on what I want, and pins in all of the necessary places. However, he is bound to ask what sort of button I want (there are currently two but there will eventually be only one on the front), the ones on it at the moment are a bit 1970’s, any ideas? I will also ask if he can make epaulettes from the cut off material so I will require buttons for those too. Thanks.
