    Thanks, McMurdo. That might be what is stuck in my head. I was thinking about regular round buttons, though.

    Maybe I'll try an experiment on the jacket I was converting.

    That's the only real way to know. Once you've got the buttons on, take a look in the mirror. Depending on the jacket and the buttons that you use, it might look spot on, or it might look terrible.

    Only one way to be sure!
