Looks like the guy on the right has only the lower button fastened on his jacket.

Yes, how could they possibly know that they were breaking a Rule while simutainiously displaying Sprezzatura..........They didn't have as many menswear blogs and Alan Flusser books back then...
I was at an RRL store recently and a few of their selections were simply gorgeous.
Why Ralph Lauren continues to be godlike. Check out the belted back:

Here is Leslie Philipps in 'The Pool of London' (1950). He is wearing a jacket with three flapped pockets, all of which have a large rounded button to close them.
The same year Dirk Bogarde appeared to wear the same jacket in 'The Blue Lamp' (the films were released six weeks apart and were both made by Ealing Studios):
around 1900 there was a trend for short jackets with very curved cutaway front quarters.
i rather like this style.
