Not quite gold buttons, but the Brooks Brothers 200th anniversary blazer has somewhat subdued brass(?) buttons with black enamel. Looks-wise, sort of a middle ground between gold buttons and horn buttons.

200th Anniversary Regent-Fit Two-Button 1818 Blazer - Brooks Brothers
The 200th Anniversary Collection<br>In honor of 200 years of redefining American style, we are proud to introduce this special-edition blazer. Crafted from rich Italian wool, this iconic jacket is made in the United States and tailored in our best-selling Regent fit. Its gleaming, enameled...www.brooksbrothers.com
Brooks basically has three category of builds for it's blazers and suits:
Regent : Slim cut with padded shoulders
Fiztgerald: A hybrid cut between the Regent and Madison, less slim with less shoulder padding than Regent cut
Madison: The traditional natural shoulder drape with a more relax cut that is synonymous with Brooks Brothers
I think they retired the Fitzgerald cut a few years ago.
From their website:
Milano: Slim and tailored through the chest, body and sleeves.
Regent: Fitted through the chest, body and sleeves.
Madison: Relaxed through the chest, body and sleeves.

Sharp! A lot of "they" do say lately that the g-b blazer is "out of date" but when I see that, my reaction is, "No, way!". I think especially because it's form-fitting tailoring is so current. Nicely done.I love mine.
Nothing to do with the buttons or blazer which are both lovely but that collar and skinny knot just aren't right, imho.Not quite gold buttons, but the Brooks Brothers 200th anniversary blazer has somewhat subdued brass(?) buttons with black enamel.

BrooksCool, as it implies, is made for warm weather wear. BrooksGate is sold as separates and does in total come in at a price point below 1818, so is the current equivalent to BrooksEase. And Red Fleece targets a younger (and slimmer) audience with current takes on "preppy" fashion. Some stores now are only Red Fleece. Though I did purchase a regular fit fleece pullover and my first pair of chinos in Clark fit at one of those stores. About the only two things there I could actually fit into! lol.From their website they still have the Fitzgerald cut.
Men's Fitzgerald Fit Two-Button Classic 1818 Navy Blazer | Brooks Brothers
Classic two-button blazer, made from super 120s wool, woven in Italy by Loro Piana®. Trimmer Fitzgerald fit, distinguished by narrow lapels and higher, hand-sewn armholes. Classic Waterbury buttons. Half-canvas construction. Fully lined. Center vent. Dry clean. Made in the USA and Italy.www.brooksbrothers.com
From what I previously understand is that their Golden Fleece (@$1700 range) is the their high end series,1818 (@$1000 range) mid-level series and BrookEase (@$500 range) was their bottom level series with all three series offering different cuts such as Madison, Regent, Fitzgerald and Milano cuts. The 346 series was made for their outlet stores. What is missing now is their BrookEase maybe the BrooksGate, Red Fleece and BrooksCool are the new fill ins for their entry level series ?
Gold buttons are kind of tacky IMO. Not something I would judge someone for but definitely not something I would go out of my way for.
