Lapels are useless. Best to remove those as well.

Funny you ask, as I just got a bunch of RLPL w/o those buttons, and I think I'm going to sew them on!

I've seen DB jackets w/o them - just the four around the stomach area - Hugo Boss did that a few seasons back. A little more contemporary and a little less classic, but whatever floats your boat.

I find that pants interfere with at least three, wait, four important functions.

The DoW wss about a 37S. I saw his clothes at auction in the late 90s.
He's using a successful ploy to look a bit taller, unless you see him in relation to any other European adult male.
On a well designed coat, the buttons are placed in relation to each other, whether it's a 2/1, a 4/1 or a 6/2 or whatever.
Taking the buttons off the OP's coat may have the undesired result of making him look a bit "top-heavy,' at least in the eyes of his fellow iGents.

He's actually got the opposite problem. Thom Browne pull is too little light fabric. The DoW has a loose enough jacket, but because he hasn't buttoned the inside button, the jacket is sagging in such a way as to pull on the button. If he took a second to smooth out the jacket, it would go away.
