    I wanted an oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snaps, as used on this IHSH 99, so I could remove the plain snap on the "Snappered mandarin collar" of my IH-9527J and replace it with an oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snap. I asked @Giles and he posted me a single oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snap that I retro-fitted to my IH-9527J, see below;

    Cheers @Giles

            ^cheers fellas  :)^

            @Giles - As a permanent alteration to the IH-527J & IH-9527J going forward, would it be possible to remove the plain snap on the "snappered mandarin collar" and replace it with an oversized Iron Heart logo'd copper snap as used on this IHSH 99 ?

              Of course it's possible.  Will we? Probably not….

                  I should have taken before pics, but I sent my  MBB's to Indigo Proof after the crotch blew out.

                  I figured once shipped I may as well have her work her magic wherever possible.  They came back with a laundry list. I'm happy with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate sending them my next trashed pair.

                        Simple mod. From white buttons to stealthy badass black ones…

                            A necessary one. The white buttons clashed with every vest I own. Problem solved.

                                  Not sure if I posted a fit pic anywhere here of my "IHSH-33WH", so here's one:

                                    I just wanted to show off the work that Rain and Tyler at Indigo Proof did on my Ooe Yofukuten OA02XX's.
                                    Main order of business was repairing the crotch, which they did a fantastic job with.


                                    Left belt loop had started to unravel, so that was also repaired.

                                    Some button hole reinforcement.

                                    Darning on the coin pocket and stitching on the front pocket also repaired.

                                    The back pocket where I keep my Wild Child wallet was also darned and reinforced.

                                    I'm very happy with how these came out, and will be sending in all future pairs to them.
                                    Thanks so much guys.  😘
