I'm curious if anyone's done this, and has pictures. I have a nice Argyll jacket - very traditional black, etc. It's the one we all see. I got it because I needed a jacket, the store (on a visit to Scotland) had one in stock, and they did not have a charcoal tweed one in stock. I really wanted the charcoal one, and I probably should have just ordered one instead, but I really wanted a jacket right away and thought this one would be a good one for multiple occasions.

Well, 8 years later, I haven't worn it more than 15 times. A large part of the reason is that the chrome buttons all over it are a little too busy for me, even though they're pretty traditional (which I typically prefer). I don't think I want to sell or trade it, just because I do wear it on occasion. I was wondering if anyone had removed the chrome (at least from the cuffs and pockets). I think I'd be more likely to wear it if it wasn't so flashy, and I'm not able to buy another jacket at the moment.
