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!
