I would actually like to avoid black if possible. I really like a dark grey as I think it goes better with the colors in my tartan.

Thanks for the idea of switching the buttons out....and for sending the bill to my employer! But since we are contractors, Mrs Dunlop is actually my boss! i do think i can get her to sew the new buttons on for me for free tho.

I think I have it narrowed down to a few choices. i will let you know what I end up getting.

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!
