What size Civil Air Patrol buttons are used for the class a coat?

[atorresaz229]

Civil Air Patrol Button: 30 ligne silver oxidized, Civil Air Patrol Button: 25 ligne, or Civil Air Patrol Button: 36 ligne silver oxidized?

Excellent question.  I asked Vanguard to clarify this on their website.  I'm guessing they haven't.

I just measured the buttons that came on my service coat.  They are 36 ligne (that is, the 3 front buttons - new style AF coat).

The epaulet buttons appear to be 25 ligne. 

I don't know what the other sizes are for.  Perhaps female coats?  Maybe a female could check their coat for us.

36 ligne for the large buttons, 25 ligne for the small. Either CAP crest or USAF wing and star buttons are authorized.
