Snap Upgrades

@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!

@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

@Alex Thanks man

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

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.

@Notchas @SFMCfranky Heads up ️

Thanks man! Order placed!!!

@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 ?

Can we order copper male ends? I’m horrible with the terminology. I noticed that 2 of the shirts I have converted came with chrome male ends. Didn’t know if that was the only option. Would love to order copper male ends if it’s an option.

As a rule we do not replace the male snap parts when conducting a snap upgrade as listed on the product page. However, we do keep some pieces in-house for repairs. We may be able tp provide you with some to afix at home - We do two sizes of male studs - regular size which come on the majority of shirts and a larger 'cpo' size which come on cpo shirts like the 362 and 290 etc - If you can let me know which shirts they are we can do if we have some for you.

@Graham Thanks for the reply Graham. I never actually held the snaps up against my 292 / 293.

I have a Kersey Western and the IHSH-235-OLV.

I had had the update done about a month ago, but didn’t realize I need to request oversized. Is that the difference?
