I think this coat is rather nice. However, it seems there is something odd about - but can't work out what!

The buttons have been moved to make it smaller.

Nice one! Normally I find single breasted coats a bit bland, but this one has a sort of understated, sinister look to it. It's the hidden buttons, shoulders and lapels.
