Welcome to Lapel Pin Data!
This is your one-stop source for everything you wanted to know about lapel pins.
Just so we all are on the same page, the definition of a lapel is the folded down part at the front of a collar, or the fold at the front of a shirt or jacket which extends from the collar. So, basically a lapel pin is a decorative ornament usually fastened by a pin that goes through the lapel. To hold the pin in place is a catch that is usually placed underneath the lapel which serves to hold the pin in place. And since the ornament is attached to the pin, the ornament is held in place as well over the top of the lapel. The function of a lapel pin can be either functional and/or decorative. Lapel pins are also known as bar pins or brooches.
Some lapel pins are used for businesses or organizations to indicate membership or for recognition purposes within the group. Lapel pins are also used to show off company logos. Sometimes lapel pins also also used to commemorate special events such as years of service for an employee in a place of employment or a volunteer for an organization , academic honors, or athletic events.
Decorative brooches are types of lapel pins as well, often worn to accessorize an outfit. For example, they often complement mens or ladies suit jackets.
