Buttons on black velvet vest

[ThistleDown]

It's not quite traditional, of course, FB, but I think it's close enough to be considered a 'personal statement' within the genre. I like the waistcoat-sized silver buttons because they bring it even further in and can't really see anything wrong with the number and nearness of them, either. I think it could look grand with a discrete silver watch chain, sans fob, looped from the second-bottom button up to whichever pocket you prefer, too.
