Could be Isaia, but I'm not sure. Edit: Aren't you supposed to take that stitching out when you buy the jacket?

I always associated it with Isaia too

They look dreadful. Why ruin an otherwise nice jacket with that?

They do look out of place.

It's a sign the wearer is a member of the French Legion of Honour...

Lol at "ruining" a jacket with a piece of thread. Where do people get some ideas...

I wouldn't say ruined, but in my opinion, it throws off the whole look of the jacket.

For some reason, I was thinking that was a greenish blue colored thread.

Legion of Honor is red, and a very specific red, but that is not the usual style for it.

Those don't look like the legion of honour, which is looped through the button hole, around the edge of the lapel. Here's a photo. Your's appears to be the thread forming the button hole itself.

What I said.

The Italians have been doing this for a while. Valextra green stitchings, Isaia red stitchings, Garavani yellow stitchings, etc. It's just lazy creativity if you ask me.

The bottom photo is a Belstaff coat. I saw an Armani in a department store that had the red lapel buttonhole.

I like little details like this, though I'm not particularly fond of the examples shown here.
