[jimcord]

Thank you for the clarification, i appreciate it!

Got to say, the Good Art button with Lightweight Mother of pearl snaps is becoming a favourite combination
Seen here on the new IHSH-411-BLK

The rarely seen but much appreciated back pocket snap upgrade. Seen here on the IH-721-NAV with a 14mm Good Art snap

[Kasi]

Nice. I did on a black pair 17 mm

[Aerodyne]

Sorry if I missed it, but are there any examples of the Turquoise snaps on a chambray?

[Mister_Brue]

@Aerodyne I don’t believe these are available any more, though there may be an old photo somewhere…

[Aerodyne]

@Mister_Brue Oh dang, right you are!

For reference, our Heavy duty snaps as modelled on an offcut from some 142ib-Cs

@Shaun Testing out our new die's for the hand press? A little freshen up on the tools after having the same ones doing every snap for the last 8/9 years.

@Graham slighty derailing this thread here - what tool do you use to fit the regular jeans buttons? thinking of replacing the sewn-on buttons on my 726 shorts, and was wondering if i could do that at home.

[Graham]

@tody

Great question man, so we use a spring-loaded base plate on the hand press to install buttons but you should be able to install them by hand with something like THIS

[tody]

@Graham thank you. that looks like something I can fab on a lathe.

[Graham]

Nice one @tody - We look forward to seeing your handy work!

[JoshC]

@tody if you get stuck or need a hand give me a email and I can talk you through it if needs be, I used to do it at nudie for people but all we had was a hammer and it still got it done.

[Notchas]

Copper snaps restocking soon???
