Yeah, I did not see that.  And my version arrived here today…..

Huh, my first thought was a really close shot of a zipper pull.  Never knew button helper thingies existed.

@madmonday:

a button doer for those too stiff jeans that hurt your soft freshly manicured fingers

Perfect timing if they come in before the DWC starts.  I could have definitely used them at the start of the MBB's.

I need one… I have heavy denim and nails! [emoji57]

@giles, being the good husband i'd like a button fighter to preserve @Black Orchid nails. how can i get my mits on a button fighter (button doer)?

[Giles]

I am having a sample made in brass at the moment…..I'm not actually sure brass will be man enough for the job, so this may be an iterative process.....

I see. Knowing how tuff it can be battling IH jeans and buttons, anything short of aircraft grade titanium wont cut it [emoji1] possibly some homegrown Sheffield steel would do it….

It would.  You (or anyone else for that matter) know of anywhere that can make small batches of stuff like that?

@Giles, do you have a local forge is it something a black smith could do? To have an IRON IH button fighter would be something!
