You know... This is an exelent reason to have the eyelets for removable buttons put on a formal jacket.
Though the buttons I would like to start with are a certain design, I could get a different set later on.
As far as silver plating, it may be that I need to go that way to get the buttons I want, and the cantle for that matter. I don't mind that so much.
I don't really like the diamond shaped buttons in the first place...

Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
