Obviously sewing only one button on a cuff and one on the front of a jacket is cutting corners, since it requires less effort (and therefore a bit less cost) than sewing two or three buttons and buttonholes. I think at a minimum a jacket should have at least two buttons on the front and three on the cuff - regardless of whether or not it is a braemar, an argyll or a plain-cut jacket.
