gold buttons and silver accessories?

[Bugbear]

I'm just now starting to try to figure out sporran cantles and waistplates, so I don't fully understand what all should be on a metal cantle .

Is there a theme to the gold buttons like Navel anchors, that could or should be carried on into the buckle and sporran?

We haven't gotten the buttons yet, so I don't know if there will be a theme. As to getting a waistcoat and forgetting about the belt, well, this is I suppose more semi-formal than formal. And even if I got the waistcoat and didn't need a belt, there's still the sporran issue. I don't want to have to paint or gild any accents; I'd be too worried about having to deal with keeping it touched up. I really want to find one that's already gold-tone. I'll check out the Geoffrey ebay seller; I know them. Thanks!

I have a gold plated belt buckle from these people - http://www.centaurdesign.co.uk/products/the_centaur1 and I'm sure they do mail order. Here it is with my Montrose -

Wow... ya'll know EVERYTHING! *bows down before all-knowing-males* Phil, that's a handsome belt buckle, and I love Montroses. One of our guys has a black one. But the 90 USD buckle is just more than we want to pay right now. However, I'm a-thinking I'm a-gunna get the one from SWK. And I contacted Geoffrey and they indeed have a sporran with gold tone trimmings! Whoopdy-do! (Is that how you spell that?...)

NOW... (you knew there was more)... what about gold tone sporrans and belt buckles in boys' sizes? You know, for family matching?
