      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.

            My gut reaction is that it's an imperfect, untidy solution, but I'm pretty sure that the reality of copper snaps on wabash plus assuming an attitude of not giving a fuck would mean that it would work.

                                Thanks in advance. I have a work shirt in stack and think about a HDSU  :D.

                                  Question: On regular western shirts with a snap at the collar (like the ahem IHSH-62-WHT :D) will there be space for the big copper/brass snaps?

                                    Yes - I have done one, but cannot remember which shirt it was. @den1mhead, your 08 is all snaps, right?

                                          @Chris @Aetas etc. here you go.

                                          Small snaps are too small, they can pull through the button holes, so it is these copper or brass HD only…

                                            I like it.  Now we'll need to put some mileage on the shirt and see how well they hold up.
