I have inherited my father's highland dress, but something that my mother said, plus a very vague distant memory is that there is a significance to the silver buttons on the jacket, verus plain cloth covered buttons, and military service.

I'm sorry, I do not have a picture, but my father wore his kilt primarily to black tie events. If someone could tell me if there is any significance to having silver buttons versus cloth buttons, I would be most grateful.

Thanks,
