Thanks for all the replies. Perhaps I am just looking at it wrong, and need to wait until such time as I can see one in person, although BEEDEE's looks nice. I like the smaller buttons on the sleeve. I think they've just looked to me, at least in pictures, that the buttons were pulling the eyes away from the rest of the outfit. They seemed overdone. But then again, I'm a very big proponent of understatement in dress.(odd that, with me enjoying the kilt eh?) I think that's why I like BEEDEE's picture. The buttons there are a little smaller, and not as "bright" as others I've seen. I think it also looks better on that snapshot of the white PC. I wonder if that's because there's not as much contrast between the buttons and the fabric when going from silver to white, as when going from silver to black.
Ah well, I've got plenty of time before I'll be able to purchase a kilt that needs a PC to go with it, so I can do more thinking, mulling and researching....
Thanks again for the education all,
Casey

Took possesion of my PC yesterday, and have been fitting with various of my kilt today.
Very pleased with it, and looking forward to wearing it at a formal occasion (evening anniversary meal) at the end of the month.
I think the PC looks great, but I'm English and have a few Scottish friends who preferr the Argyll jacket. Still pleased with my PC though tailored in Scotland from pure new wool.
