This lapel pin is a type of pin pin that secures the tip with a metal fitting. Great for everyday use or just a party. It is a common way to attach it to the lapel hole of a suit by itself, but it can also be used to arrange other items such as using it like a brooch to secure the stole. When you take off the jacket at a party, you cant find your jacket... then use the lapel pin as a jacket marker.
