        Not bad fellas! I gotta say, that turned out pretty damn good!!

        Is it any more work on your end than a normal upgrade?

          Twice as much, as we have to make holes in the fabric where the buttons were, fit the male part of the snap and then attach the visible part

              Great work @Alex .
              Now I have to decide about the copper or brass HD.
              Can you place both snaps on the button hole of my stacking 165.
              Take a quick picture please and comments are required.

                @Alex did you guys get the tooling and brass buttons to upgrade my overalls yet?

                  @Chris what's the style number of your Wabash work-shirt pictured here?

                  …I like the look of the HD copper snap upgrade and I may try to replicate it

                  Thanks !

                          The snaps on workshirt should be an alternate production option. It's so gorgeous. I bet more workshirts would sell better if they were made like that.

                          In search of:
                          IHV-04, med.
                          IHSH-185, large
                          IHSH-186, large (khaki, and green)

                              Just seen this thread and I love the 68 with those snaps.

                              I have the same shirt (thank you @Winchy) and Im thinking I might get this done.

                              Incoming email @Alex.

                                NO, it is currently in Osaka I am afraid! I will email Kenta and ask him if he has any though

                                  Any options to replace the non-functional top button for a snap on the UHF westerns?

                                    The UHF’s count as heavy duty so the problem may be that the bigger brass and copper snaps might be a little large for that. But in theory it’s doable. Alex has pimped a whole workshirt that originally had regular buttons.

                                      I got the impression from Giles that they will never do that again, though.  It was a huge amount of work, and the potential to ruin the shirt is way too high.

                                        Correct, it is more the risk to the shirt than the effort that is the problem

                                          I am still pretty hooked in the IHSH-07 with the Brass Snaps, do you switch the cuff buttons too or are the Brass buttons to big for that?

                                            All the buttons on my IHSH-62 were changes to copper snaps, including the cuffs. It's a pretty great pimp job…
