This brings up a question I had recently -- I was looking at some WW2 videos and pictures, and several of the German and Russian gentry had their bottom buttons buttoned. There were even some French and Italians thrown into the mix. Is the rule only limited to the "Anglo Saxon" school of thought, if you will?

Seems so, and to proffer it as some brightline rule is about as smart as an American claiming that BD collars are the only 'proper' business collars (which I have personally witnessed) - and more so since his vest isn't even clearly cut to leave the last one unbuttoned.

Coat lapels are cut to wide.

The waistcoat is poor, the 'V' is set to low for that style of waistcoat. IMO

Not fussed about the bottom button being left buttoned. The notion that the bottom button should be left unbuttoned strikes me as the wrong side of pedantic.

Overall, the suit looks like modified RTW and not a bespoke garment.

Material seems like a flannel chalkstripe, which looks fine.
