I bought a new blazer that has a button hole on the throat latch but not the lapel. (You can see it in my post from yesterday) Would it be completely affected to put a lapel pin in the throat latch? It seems too far from center but I bow to your expertise.

I think we should all be honest with ourselves and admit lapel pins of any sort are affected. However, that shouldn’t keep any of us from wearing them.

I think it would look a bit odd, visually, but only because it’s typically gone in the lapel vs. the throat latch. Give it a shot!
