On one side the inside of the button holes, on the other side buttons painted in for artistic effect but actually on the inside when they should really be outside, on the folded over edge, where we should not really see them

    Apart from those buttons everything else about the two jackets looks exact to me
    Given the detail that Kenneth MacLeay achieved with these paintings and others makes me think that they are not the same jacket. He was a miniaturist of some renown. Also there are, as can be seen in the vintage thread, several jackets that are similar to the one in the painting though not exactly the same. Something else to consider is the sheer variety of jackets in the paintings and how accurate they are to other jackets found in vintage photos etc.
