          Is it possible to put snaps on a UHF workshirt?  I know the westerns are pimpable, just wondering if the workshirts are as well.

          Thanks!

            Nope. Because button holes!

              To be precise, you could in theory, but there would still be button holes…

                Was hoping a heavy duty snap could potentially take up the space of the button hole…

                  I think it probably could. The nice thing about doing snap for snap is we can reuse the same hole left by the existing snap. To do a work shirt we would have to make the hole, and we have not agreed as yet if we want to take that risk..

                    Thanks for the info.  I've got a UHF workshirt that doesn't like it's buttons and is trying to eject them.  I've already sewed several back on.  I pulled it out to wear for the season and noticed several other buttons were loose.  Before I bit the bullet and just sewed them all back on I figured I'd check on this option.

                      I was thinking that the female side of the snap might struggle with the sewn edges of the button hole too?

                        I think overall its a possibility, but realistically we don't want to risk trying it on a customers shirt!

                          I have a wabash work shirt that would be willing to volunteer for an experimental buttonectomy and copper snap implantation.  Y'know, for science.

                                        So as yet, I have not done anything permanent to Chris' shirt that he kindly volunteered. I think the below shows the issue some people mentioned. Aesthetics aside, I think it could still be sound and functional.

                                        Over to @Chris…

                                          It's not an experiment if the outcome is guaranteed, right @Alex?  If you think it can be functional, let's go ahead and give it a shot.
