D-I-Y Snap Fasteners
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2014 9:14 am
The velcro on the cuff fastenings and storm flap of my jacket was getting a little tired and were not staying closed properly.
The new version of my jacket has snap fasteners on the storm flap, so that got me to wondering if I could add them to mine.
A quick Google revealed yes, various kits to insert snap fasteners were readily available on a number of popular websites.
As the cost was only around a fiver I thought there's nothing to lose giving it a go.
This is the black version of the kit I got, its made by Hemline, tools are included, there are full instructions on the pack and its a doddle to use.

It was a complete success and the old jacket remains serviceable for a while yet.
Different colours are available, black, chrome, antique brass etc.
