I would like to get myself a nice sports coat, that I could wear with khakis or even jeans, as well as with nicer pants. Furthermore, I would like it to be dark blue. This, obviously, lands me squarely in blue blazer land. Indeed, I have scouted out a single-breasted navy blue blazer that fits me very nicely. Unfortunately, the brass buttons worry me a bit. They are a bit too... blazing, for want of a better word. Would it be sartorially correct to have those buttons replaced with something else? If so, what? I have been trying to google up some pictures for inspiration, but so far this has not turned up anything very interesting.
And yes, I know that this is just a garment, and that nobody will throw me in jail for wearing the wrong buttons (though some people here would probably be tempted). I would just like to find out what the traditional rules are, so that I can make an informed decision to break them, should I feel so inclined.
