Jacket buttons?

[piperdbh]

Back to the buttons...
If the buttons are "working" buttons, that is, they'll be pushed through buttonholes on a regular basis, I'd recommend against diamond-shaped buttons. I chose to have diamond buttons on my Inverness cape, and they're hard to get through the buttonholes. Round or square are your best bet.

There are folks here who might rework that jacket for you. VMac is an excellent seamstress, as are several other members.

I've actually found someone who can do it thanks, in my home town of Birmingham. I've given the matter of the buttons alot of thought, and decided for now because it will be my sole jacket for a while and therefore will need to be a little more "multi-purpose" rather than completely formal, I am going to have plain black round buttons on it for the moment, with a view to changing to flashier ones once I get more jackets.

Got it back Saturday, I'm very pleased with the job they've done (the tailor's were "We Make And Mend" in Birmingham, but I will certainly investigate Dalman & Narborough for the future, thanks Deil's Chiel). My new Barclay Hunting Modern kilt arrived the same day (seen here). Apologies for how thin my black hose appear, due to the flash photography!

That's a smart looking kilt and jacket you have there cousin.
