How is this closing made? To me it must be made with a larger piece
ajusted for the buttons. Isnt this wrong?
Should it not be that when closed with the buttons, the embroidery
overlaps eachother?
I am confused!

I am not sure if I understand your problem, but this style of coat
was never intended to close using the buttons and buttonholes. It is
quite likely in fact, that the buttonholes are not even slit open. On
an original coat of this style there would be a couple of hooks and
loops high on the chest, and the coat would meet when these were
fastened, not overlap. Hope this helps you understand. The costumes
for this film came from Cosprop, the best costume house in London,
and they are well known for their collection of original garments
which they use as patterns for new costumes.
