Functional Buttonholes

Do I Really Need Functional Buttonholes?

   A question we at Savile Row Custom Clothiers are frequently asked, "Why do I need or want functional buttonholes (working buttonholes)"?  Truth be told, you don't, unless you are taking care of something very messy while still actually wearing your suit coat or sport coat. We all know, though, to remove our fine coats before doing an emergency operation on someone, or perhaps, plucking our child's toy from the mud puddle.
    What functional buttonholes do offer is that one item that sets you apart from most others.  It shows that you put just a bit more thought into your wardrobe.  If you have already experienced custom suiting or sport coats that were made with functional buttonholes try buttonholes with contrasting thread.  Normally the buttonholes on the sleeves and the front of the coat are made with thread that blends in.  Contrasting thread can pick up on the color of the stripe or check in the materials pattern.  Subtle or bold contrast?  What's your tolerance level? 
    To quote the editor of Esquire, "Each of the many decisions that go into getting dressed in the morning confers a little confidence, a little power, a little distinction".
