Thank you very much for the observations on the rotated anchors and variations in sewing patterns.I remember a few years ago we went through Button Sewing 101. I just looked at a few of my coats both WWII and post war. The anchor buttons are not positioned in any repetitive consistent order. They vary with the top of the anchor facing approx. 60 degrees and being rotated to approx. 270 degrees. Other coats can be more uniform. The same with the sewing pattern. Some are " Z " shaped, some are square shaped. If I need to sew a button over the top of a pocket I will always sew inside the pocket. I can't stand when a pocket is sewed into and is partially closed.
