      Very nice shirt/snap combo! Congrats.

      The journey is the objective.

        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…

                              Thank you @Alex I think all the Buttons should be the same but I am a bit "worried" that the Cuff looks to packed with the bigger Buttons  ::)

                                Here's my IHSH-62-WH. I wouldn't say it was "busy" or "packed" but it isn't subtle either:

                                    My pleasure. If you check out the first page of the «Heavy Snap Upgrades» thread I’ve linked to above, you can see a size comparison of the snaps. The copper are about the same size as the brass and they’re also raised so more 3D, but the brass are shinier and catch the light so stand out more perhaps. I’m getting the brass done next time I pick up an appropriate shirt.

                                    (Edited for accuracy).

                                        Is there any chance that IH could make silver colored snaps in the same style as the copper colored ones?
