Bumping an old thread.
How many buttons would you expect to see on a vintage (1960s) Harris Tweed jacket? I have been given my father-in-law's hand-me-down and the jacket is in fantastic condition and fits like a glove everywhere except the sleeves which he had shortened. I'm in the process of lengthening the sleeves 1.5" (to their original length, I suspect) so there will be room for more buttons or should I leave with just the one? Many thanks!
