Snap Upgrades

[Shaun]

Lovely fresh looking Pearl snaps and Good Art on this classic (IHSH-62-WHT) Always a winning combination.

Can someone answer this question please. When you upgrade buttons or snaps, is it $25 per each being replaced? So for example is a shirt has 12 being changed to copper than an additional $300?

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@jimcord the cost is for the whole shirt

Edit: sadly, does not apply to Good Art upgrades….

[jimcord]

Thank you for the clarification, i appreciate it!

[Shaun]

Got to say, the Good Art button with Lightweight Mother of pearl snaps is becoming a favourite combination
Seen here on the new IHSH-411-BLK

The rarely seen but much appreciated back pocket snap upgrade. Seen here on the IH-721-NAV with a 14mm Good Art snap

Nice. I did on a black pair 17 mm

[Aerodyne]

Sorry if I missed it, but are there any examples of the Turquoise snaps on a chambray?

[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!

@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.
