Silver versus cloth buttons

[creagdhubh]

I'd steer clear of the cloth buttons. Never have seen that in traditional Highland evening attire.

This thread reminds me of the scene in Kidnapped where Alan Breck gave David one of the silver buttons off of his uniform, so in case they were separated, he would have a "calling card" in the Highlands.

Slainte,

Cloth buttons are sometimes favoured by the clergy, but even that is a rare occurrence.

Here's hoping you have real silver buttons!
