How many buttons?

[Colin]

Did you try on a kilt jacket, or a tux jacket in Salt Lake. I have never had an issue with tux jackets being different in sizing than a suit jacket, but I found that kilt jackets usually require one size up. Should make for a nic eformal jacket. I would do three buttons in the front (each side) and three on each sleeve like a Prince Charlie. If you want a waistcoat to go with the jacket, check out http://www.burnetts-struth.com/sale_items.asp they have some PC waistcoats (middle of the way down) for $45 cdn.
