      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?

                              Hey @Giles, any idea when the basic black will be back in stock? Thinking about a superblack cpo, but I would want to do it with black snaps, and those are currently not available. Hopefully back soon?

                                Why stop at silver color… I think solid cast silver is the way to go!

                                Might be something in the works... 😉

                                  Imagine that on Superblack denim shirt… I like the way you think, sir.
