This is Purple Label. Newer Purple Label, but it is. Anthony was the old Black Label line and looks to be the spiritual successor to Anthony based on the roped shoulder and pick stitching with a narrow lapel.

Came back from Japan recently and saw a man wearing a knitted suit, similar to knitted ties. I didn't know such suits existed. I asked where he got it from and told me years ago from Zara, it could have fooled me for a custom made. Do these type of suits still exist out there? Unfortunately, I didn't get to snap a pic of it.

In old movies, I see men buttoning only the bottom button of the jacket. Was that the style at the time? When did the style change?

Specific example

Can contrast stitching on lapel buttonhole and functional cuffs be changed?

Can contrast stitching on lapel buttonhole and functional cuffs be changed?

Yes. A good alterations tailor will unpick the thread and re-do it another colour. Price will depend on whether it is done by machine or hand. If you're a bit crafty it's something you can learn to do yourself, although that's true of everything I suppose.
