gold buttons and silver accessories?

[Carolina Kiltman]

Hey there,

I'm fixing up a formal kilt jacket for a laddie I know, and we really want to do gold buttons instead of the ubiquitous silver. But it's SO hard to find a gold-tone kilt buckle that doesn't cost as much as a new kilt or sporran!

So... would we be struck by lightning if the jacket had gold buttons and the accessories were silver tone, OR, do y'all know any good source for gold tone buckles?

Thanks ahead of time to all you lovely fellas.

I added the emphasis. Sounds to me as if maybe a 3-button vest would be in order, in which case a belt would not be worm. The sporran would still be a bit of a problem, but I have seen some posts here by the DYI'ers which are very dressy, but without any, or very little metal.

Do post some pics when you are done.

Don't know anything about them, but I came across this item from Wyvern Leatherworks the other day:
