Replaced a bent snap on my SJ Foley with some IH copper! Really liking how this turned out.

@SourPower this is also very cool! What is that little leather pouch for?

@Mizmazzle it’s a just a slim card/cash wallet. I used to carry a bi-fold, but haven’t been able to look back since my buddy gave me this as a gift!
-
@SourPower same same. Card wallets are where it’s at!

IH-666S-21 Reinforce frayed cuffs?
My IH are a little over a year old and I'm noticing early wear where I cuff them. Curious if you think it is worth sending to IH or rail car to get them reinforced and fixed now or should I just try to avoid cuffing in the same spot. I prefer for the repairs to not be noticible, so was hoping if I do something now it would be less visible. Thanks friends.

@mobius111 From my experience, your wear is the cost of cuffing and at this point isn't bad (as you said "early wear". You could try cuffing in a different spot, but I don't think it will work as my cuffs tend to resettle where they want, which is normally where they were in the first place.
@JoshC worth a visit for repair yet? Any suggestions?
