Snap Upgrades

[Go For Chill]

@Shaun YES! Just yesterday I was just considering that same CPO with all white pearl snaps and a GAH pocket pimp.

That black jacket is particularly rad.

@Go-For-Chill Couldn't agree more. Nothing beats a Good Art button

Hello!

Recently I made my first Iron Heart purchase, the IHSH-227-IND Wabash 12oz shirt. Needless to say I think the shirt is amazing and the quality unreal, but that's not the point of this post.

I (nervously) mailed the shirt to the UK from here in Australia to have the snaps upgraded to the heavy pearl option; I thought the white snaps would look better with the Wabash fabric and eventual fades. The service from IH Uk was amazing, the guys were great and the process was simple and much quicker than expected so thank you all!

Attached is a photo for everyone to see the difference, I think it definitely looks better! Apologies for the poor lighting, I only have warm lights in my home. Give me a few months to get some fades on this beauty and I'll post an update!

Cheers

@AskAxel Welcome to the forum. Great shirt to make your first piece of Iron Heart. Looks good with the snaps too, enjoy

@ShopatIronHeart what tools are needed to upgrade the HD snaps? I have upgraded the LW snaps at home but can't figure out the HD now that I have some. Is there a video of the HD process? Thanks.

You need a hand or foot press snd the appropriate dies….

@Rococo I'll see if we can do some sort of video of the process next week.

I’ve toyed with upgrading snaps a few times, but never pulled the trigger. If you’ve done it, post up the pics here so folks like me can get a better idea of what the end results look like. I know each shirt is unique, but seeing examples is always helpful for me. I’m particularly interested in UHF western upgrades, but would love to see other styles too.

@samo merged your post to here as there are many examples of upgrades over the past.
