Yes, sometimes two inside buttons.

Where are these buttons (one or two) placed? On the inside position of the two 'show/non working' buttons? Can't seem to find any pictures of the insides of a DB.

There aren't any DB's here (not off the rack, and the tailors haven't made one in years...), so I cant see the mechanics of it myself.

Nice. Does the customer have a dropped right shoulder?

Is this whats termed air force blue? What material is the cloth?
