    Ah yes an important point encountered several times in my research.

    I got some nice silver buttons but I'll save those for another jacket project and use cloth buttons instead.

    Not really fair to comment on the "Gunslinger" when he cannot respond. Seems like a "low blow" to me.

    The original post was thoroughly discussed on a previous thread and the jacket and complete look are historic for the individual being portrayed.

    I happen to know that the garments in the photo were sewn up by a tailor who is an accredited historian and that the tailor consulted a NWC/HBC Historian, a retired University of Aberdeen professor. The waistcoat is from a well know supplier of historic attire.

    And, of course, the gentleman in the photo believes the belt is worn exactly as it was by the portrayed individual during that time.
