              pook you have out done yourself.  those buttons really bring something out in that shirt.

              i'm way more than impresed with your job(s).

                    I thought once snaps were removed they couldn't be reused, got deformed or something? learn new stuff all the time, great work pook

                      The button themselves, if carefully removed, might be recycled… Just think the (m)other part isn't re-usable...

                        Thanks Monday, I might take you up on that offer if I get bored with another shirt 🙂
                        But yeah, I had to use pliers to straighten out the prongs and just re-used the backs.  I tested it first and saw that it was just as hard to remove as a new one so went for it.

                            I've got man flu so that's my excuse for not reviewing the thread…can anyone comment on viability of retroing snaps onto a button shirt? Thanks

                              can't say it's been done hectic.

                                It might look kinda off.  First, the button holes are likely sewn with reinforcement threads.  Second, you will have to sew the button holes together.  But no one will stop you from trying though.

                                  If you want to do it with my MOP snaps, no joy.  I only have the 2 parts for the upper half of the set….
