Silver versus cloth buttons

[JSFMACLJR]

Of course one can have buttons made up of all sorts of things. I am reminded of the buttons on Hugh Cameron of Kilwhillie's doublet made of jet with rubies for the eyes of the hounds!

I agree that cloth buttons are incredibly rare. I have only seen them twice (in all my long 27 years of life ) and both times they were sported by clan chiefs during a daywear event.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with it, but it's definitely unusual and I think some people would be inclined to associate cloth covered buttons with cheat rental outfits.
