Missing buttons on overcoat
What seems like the better thing to do if you thrift an overcoat missing buttons?
1. Replace all the buttons on the coat
2. Replace it with a button that's similar
3. Cry
Wondering about costs and other potential considerations.

Can you sew on a button? If so replacing all the buttons is going to take less than an hour and cost $5 unless you want fancy ass buttons. If you can't sew or can't be bothered, replacing all the buttons won't cost much (my tailor charges £2 a button) unless you want fancy ass buttons.
No, but I guess that's another option, worth learning to DIY it?
Nice horn buttons can be had for like ... $2-3 each. You can get significantly less expensive buttons too.
