To my mind, MacLowlife, the tweed does not go well with brass buttons. I'm not sure why, either...
However, if it were a solid, navy blue argyle, I can see brass buttons working out.
I have no idea if that is somehow taboo, though.
I just like navy suits with brass buttons.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

I just recently picked up some Black Watch buttons in brass from What Price Glory www.onlinemilitaria.net to go on a shell jacket I had a friend make me in 20 oz. black wool. Knowing it's not period correct to anything but it's sure going to look good w/the kilt

Thrift store buttons might have that "patina," though.
