There is no problem using the Toggles Ryan, I just thought I would try out the Button method on my new cloak, hence I needed advice.
In fact on my new cloak, an old grey woollen blanket, I shall be using the Toggle type fastening. This will be my "on campaign" cloak. Does not matter if it gets dirty and grotty, can be worn over Armour. My older cloak, a loverly dark mustard coloured lighter wool made by Claire Marshall, shall get the overhaul it deserves....a total revamp of the front and fittings to Button and loop, to become my posher off duty/civilian cloak.
Many thanks for all your input Gents.
One thought is that as possibly wooden toggles broke, they were replaced with round Brooches as suggested in Christians link above. That could be why we have 2 types of fasteners on Mr Camomile St.....Just a thought.
