          @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.

                                            @Graham Are we able to order extra studs and posts for the permex snaps if we want to press our own extra snaps on cuffs to try to tame sleeve lengths ?
