Jackets with a different look

Wanting to look unique and to spice up the monotonous-looking office jackets, I came up with an original idea.  And I did that to almost most of the jackets that I own ever since the inception of this idea.

I replaced the buttons with unique ones that I bought from haberdashery.  Each set of buttons were painstakingly chosen to match the colour and texture of each jacket.  I also made sure that the same type of buttons were not repeated as I'd like to have variety.  However, budget was also taken into account.  I avoid those which were too pricey. And I tried not to pair costly buttons with value jackets.  A silver pipe won't look nice if used by a beggar, anyway.
