Big Boy: the crimson boutonnière
The red, or here crimson, carnation is preferred with a tuxedo or tailcoat and therefore has a black stem wrapped in silk. If it peeps out from behind the lapel, it goes almost unnoticed.
The buttonhole for tuxedos and tailcoats
There is an almost forgotten craftsmanship in every buttonhole (cannot be compared in the least with products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used; every flower is built up properly and not simply plugged together or glued on. Recipes up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for dyeing the fabric.
