I am still on the fence regarding functional and non-functional buttonholes.
On one hand, functional has practical uses, although to be honest, I've rarely used it and if I did, it was always with a casual sports coat in a casual setting.
The biggest problem I see with functional buttonholes, is the fact that you can't really resell the item as easily since altering the sleeve length would affect how the buttons looked.
So my question is, would non-functional buttonholes alleviate this issue? Is it difficult to remove the threading for non-functioning buttonholes in order to make them functional? Or do they simply just cut a **** where it's supposed to be and work around it?
