The Lapel Buttonhole Posted on March 29, 2012 4 If your dinner jacket was constructed without a lapel buttonhole and you wish your tailor to add one so that you may sport a boutonniere (which the British confusingly also call a “buttonhole”), you have a couple of options. You can get a keyhole shaped opening like the ones used for the jacket’s waist and sleeve buttons or you can get a straight hole like the one shown here. Some will argue that the latter is a mark of a better suit but the fact is that both styles are used by quality suitmakers. Therefore it’s a matter of personal preference. I’m partial to the inconspicuousness of the straight option given the very visible placement of the hole high up on the chest and (usually) surrounded by satin.

The race had also been constantly attracting few hundred local and expat, the distance had also been extended from standard OD to 1.8k swim/55k bike/10k similar to LPT. Our friend Michal Bueck won overall champion last year and highly recommend this race! “The water in the river is a lot better than Science Park and Plover Cove in HK!”. So I decided to do it this year! Enrollment fee and travelling costs is reasonable! Only THB2500 for early bird entry, HK$8500 for 5D4N...

I simply like this kind of break, staying in the Metropolitian Bangkok pool, unwind.
