Hello, pards--
Got yet another question for any kind soul willing to give a bit of guidance to a lowly webfoot in need of enlightenment. Got me a set of Kentucky Muffins. No, not the lil' torpedoes left in the wake of a mule in a tobacco field. The buttons. I bought a jacket off a friend in my outfit some time ago, a Blockade Runner 'Western Depot' jacket. It had kinda 'Brand Z' block I buttons on it, so after debating between wood buttons and the muffins, I finally ended up flipping a coin and went with the muffins. So I got 'em all sewed on all nice and purty...look real good on there. Then a fellow at the last event I was at said he had never in the world heard of muffin style buttons on an enlisted man's uniform. Did I goof or something? And I suppose now would be as good a time as any to ask about the 'Western Depot' jackets. Looks just like a Columbus Depot, just no blue trim, no pocket. It's my understanding that while they weren't attributable to any particular production point, there were surviving specimens, linked to Western Cornfed outfits. Kinda tryin' to hammer as many kinks out of my impression as possible during the off-season. So. Buttons...jacket... Thoughts? Appreciate any help.
