Sew metal/plastic circles onto the inside, then lace up.

Subject: [h-cost] Doublet closure


I need to pick your brains again.  

I am coming down the homestretch on the garb for my
son. (Good thing, dress rehearsal is 7/1!!!) The slops
and doublet are done except for tacking the lining in
the doublet and although I like the over all look, I
don't like the way the front closure looks.  I had
planned to use hook/eye, but now I think the front
looks too bland.

It is too late to sew loops into the front seam for
buttons and I have braid trim running along both
sides, so no place for lacing holes.

If I had my son make some monkey fist knots out of
metalic gold cord and then did a froggy loop kind of
thing over the braid, would that be appropriate?

Any other ideas or notions?
