Lapel Pins - Shop, Purchase, Buy Online

A lapel pin is a small pin often worn on the lapel of a dress jacket. Lapel pins can be purely ornamental or can indicate the wearer's affiliation with an organization or cause, such as fraternities and sororities. Businesses and the military also use lapel pins to designate achievement, membership or worker recognition.

Before the popularity of wearing lapel pins, boutonnières were worn instead. These days you can buy lapel pins just about anywhere. If you can't find one that suits your liking, you can always gather the materials and make your own.

Lapel pins are generally fairly cheap due to their size, though in September 2011, "Police & Military Tie Tac Service" sold one single lapel pin badge for £112; making it the most expensive lapel pin ever sold.
