    Very special Royal Naval Association gold plated buttons, to go with the tartan. Nice fabric to work with, but pricey! About £57 a meter… One tries not to bog this sort of thing up for the customer!

    I’ll try to get a picture of the skirt I did for the gentleman’s wife: dead simple, but rather smart.

    this waistcoat is splendiferous! lol. With handsewn button holes too, that’s impressive. I like the buttons too.
