    lol do the BB jackets use one size?

    or would it be acceptable?

    mix and match probably not a good idea?

    what if only the 2 front buttons for chain closure were different!

    My recommendation.....don't stress over having slightly mix-and match buttons. Buy buttons, affix them and proceed in comfort and style!

    I'm not a fan of the mix and match thing myself... MAYBE if it was a "daywear" jacket, but not on a Brian Boru (for those that are reading this and don't know, a Brian Boru is like a Prince Charlie, but Irish and slightly different in cut... very formal)

    I think that if I couldn't get the buttons that are already on the jacket (get matching ones), I'd buy enough to re-do the whole jacket so they all matched. I just think it's a more "polished" look.

    Amen, Rocky. With formal attire, one should attempt to be as "polished" as possible, rather than a hap-hazzard look.
