Back to the lapel button hole, I am not sure if there is a fix way of executing it, but Prologue is definitely not the first one I saw.

Below is jacket by cavuto sartoria, if I am correct he was student / studying in the Liverano's.

What Prologue does on their breast pocket looks like a signature....but very similar to Delcuore

These are to 'key hole' pattern and are quite wrong for use on a lapel. Simply because a tradesman is Italian, he can make the same mistakes. I would mark both very much down for summiting such a basic error.

I like this Milanese , hand-made, often extra charged for this detail in China.

There are the two styles. Those intended as practical button holes can be seen adjacent to the buttons, the others are not.

Anyone can recommend a tailor for a pair of trousers? Looking for 100 percent wool/summer pants and price range 1000 hkd for a pair

You are right. The keyhole shaped buttonhole is one of the features of their house style jacket.

No its a feature of not knowing any better. Avoid them.

That is not much although one of the touts at the Star Ferry pier Kowloonside will doubtless be able to get a couple of yards of rag put together for this few $. He'll even call it wool, cotton, linen, whatever you want if you ask nicely. You might even get a 'copy watch' whilst you are there.

How would you rate the roughness among Fresco, Frontier and this mohair?

I like the shape, but to me the fabric is too "see-through". I have to think twice what underwear to wear....

Just curious, what is the purpose of the single belt loop beside the buttons?

The fabric is quite see through though. Not my cup of tea. But I like the loafers. Can give me the details on the loafers? Assuming it's you in the picture.

Hong Kong is getting even more expensive place and I am paying more for the trousers. If you are local, have a patience, have a good idea what you want, can wait, can get a fabric yourself, do not have language barrier and would like to venture into non-typical tailor shop, you may ask the question at Bao Tao thread.
