    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

    Link for all the leather (and many other type) buttons you could want:

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