Silver versus cloth buttons

[Cygnus]

It sure would! You could also keep the cloth covered buttons, if you like. I have mother-of-pearl waistcoat buttons that I have been known to use with my white waistcoat I wear with the kilt.

You could but, as Sandy has pointed out, it's hardly necessary. The buttons on my white waistcoat are gold, and about 125 years old. A gentleman has better things to concern himself with than the buttons on his waistcoat.

In that case, I'll probably keep it as is so it can continue to serve a dual purpose.

Thank you very much for your quick and well-informed responses!
