Raphael,

YES

This is what I do for jackets! The only thing that I change is with the buttons. I will remove the ones that come with the jacket and replace them with:
1).Celtic Knot buttons (available almost everywhere)
2).Silver "Diamond" buttons (at Scottish shops)
3).Irish Army buttons (available on eBay sometimes)

It's a GREAT look at a prcie that won't kill you!
