[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.

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

[Notchas]

@Alex Thanks man

This is holding up a couple of shirts I want to cop

[SFMCfranky]

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.
