Jacket conversion

[ccga3359]

I was wondering, why put silver buttons on a white jacket? I have only seen them with gold buttons.

You are indeed correct, it's just me. I see silver as a neutral metal whereas gold a coloured metal and going better with white. You could also think of black buttons.

I suspect it's that usually kilt belt buckles and sporran chains are silver or chrome, and silver or silver colored buttons match them, while gold wouldn't.

Why replace the buttons at all? For a white dinner jacket, I think the cloth covered buttons look fine.

But, having said that - If you really want to change, I would opt for the silver, diamond shape celtic style buttons.

Now the next question - Just when are you going to be able to wear that fine conversion?

Simple, whenever, wherever I want!

Well, of course! But I thought maybe you had purchased it for a really special occassion? Like the Christening of a first born, or to open a really old bottle of Scotch, or to put new batteries in the scooter...... You know something special!
