Hi All. I am a tailor who loves to sew these buttonholes. If you wish to have them add to your suit jacket or sports jacket, please contact me at [email protected]. Look forward to offering this service to you.

Hi,
This is such beautiful work, please could you tell me what thickness thread/brand you used for this buttonhole? I'm learning to make them from a book but I've found the gutermann silk twist quite fine for the wool flannel I'm working on, so I work quite tightly with the stitching to cover all the hairs but then it looks too strained...

Also... What does your reverse look like?: )

Thanks!
Anna
