@Jett129:

Use a Needle nose pliers to gently stretch the button holes.

Thanks for the tip.  Got the second to the bottom to be a bit easier.  Need to work on the second from the top one more.  This for sure builds up your thumb strength

Spent about 2 hours measuring all my jackets and button ups and took the plunge.  Love this jacket.  Second day trying to break this guy in with raw knuckles and sore thumbs.

But I have to ask what’s the trick to buttoning second from the top?  Second from the bottom takes about 3 attempts after resting the fingers but for the life of me that second from the top is a head scratcher.

Been trying to hold out but everyones awesome photos made me cave in.  Order placed

After buying my first pair of IH jeans I quickly bought a jacket and belt too.  Spending time on this forum is bad news for my wallet.
