One button. It sits at the natural waist and it is the only fastening on the entire coat, which means everything above it falls open into a long lapel and everything below hangs completely free.
That single point of closure is what makes the shape. The lapels are notched and cut long, running well past the collarbone before they meet, two large patch pockets sit low and square on the front, and the body falls straight from a soft shoulder to just below the knee. There is no belt, no storm flap and no vent detail anywhere.
It is the plainest coat here by a distance, and it is the one that will still look correct in ten years.
