        Nice. I did on a black pair 17 mm

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

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

                  @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.

                      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

                                      Hopefully, we ordered more a few weeks ago so fingers crossed they come sooner than later

                                          I notice that copper snaps are out of stock for upgrade purposes. I have two questions: Firstly, Do you have any idea when they will be back in stock? Secondly, if I purchase a shirt I want the copper snaps on, will you hold it until they become available? I’m in the U.S. and shipping back and forth is an expensive proposition.

                                          Thanks,
                                          Frank

                                            @SFMCfranky Answer to your question above. Also moved your question here.

                                            Edit: Yes you can stack an item at IHUK until the snaps are back in stock. Please leave a note in the comments section of the order.
