Appearance of a leprechaun


Leprechauns are about 3 feet tall. They have a cocked hat and a red or green jacket with 7 rows of buttons and 7 buttons on each row for a total of 49 buttons.  Before the 20th century, stories described leprechauns dressed in red, not green.  Leprechauns wear heavy leather shoes with silver buckles.

  3. Holy Crap, 49 buttons imagine if they all fell off and you had to replace them all, or imagine how big the bag would have to be filled with replcement buttons, Ican't believe that people associated them with red!
