    Kyle,

    I'm in no position to say what is acceptable in the Highlands, but I do remember a thread that Sandy contributed to which featured photos of several striking tartan doublets. Perhaps a PM to him would be productive.

    I understand David, however, if you do have an opinion on the subject I am interested to hear what you have to say. Sandy's attire, pictured in his avatar, just looks absolutely stunning to me, as I have always been taken by the look of a tartan doublet, properly made. I have already spoken with him briefly with regards to his Appin doublet, however, I did not see any further photos of him wearing it-good idea to PM him in that regard.

    Cheers my friend,

    Same here, and even less.

    However, when I think Sandy, I think cut steel buttons...

    Just a thought.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    HA! Yes, quite right. I would have traditional buttons in hallmarked sterling silver, or perhaps bespoke sterling silver buttons featuring personal heraldry, or a rather specific Clan Macpherson totem (ensuring appropriateness, correctness, and lawfulness in the eyes of my clan, my Chief, and most importantly, the Court of the Lord Lyon).
