And if one does not feel right about faking one's social status or class with fake buttons... ?
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Sorry if I've misled anyone...

Ted,
I hope I have not inadvertently conveyed the impression that someone is somehow "faking" social status by wearing an off the rack Prince Charlie coatee. Far from it. Social status (whatever that may really mean) is dependent on only one thing: being honest.
It doesn't matter if the PC came from Gold Brothers or Stewart Christies, as long as the man inside that jacket isn't pretending to be be something he is not; if he is being himself then he is certainly the social equal of any other honest gentleman in the room.
Truly, amongst gentlemen, actions, not clothes, make the man.
