            Not as issued but adding football buttons are a classic way to smarten up a uniform.

                I have one tunic (8th army officer) and one officer's tropical shirt, both private purchase, and both with the same type of buttons.

                  The buttons you normally find on officers uniforms, even including Greatcoats.

                    Are they more common of field or service uniforms?
                    As I wrote I have one tunic with such buttons, it is well used and reparied.
