lapel pin
Buttonhole collar decoration
A lapel pin is a small decorative ornament worn on the lapel of a jacket or coat.
Lapel pins may indicate membership, achievement, or affiliation—service pins, flag pins, awareness ribbons.
They attach with a clasp, magnet, or stick pin through the fabric: Politicians rarely appear without an American flag lapel pin.
