IHSH-21-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Blue

Geo, how do you do this?? I like to repair things myself. I have never had good luck with buttons.

Sorry to say 3 buttons hanging off my new shirt after only 2 days - I think there is to much tension in the thread, one of the reinforcers is cracked.
No biggie for me - I tend to cut buttons off and re-sew using a threaded shank . . . good for heavier materials

Sorry for the delay TinMan - work had strangled me
It's pretty easy if you can do the basics of sewing but check this link:

Where they use a pin for the spacer I use a matchstick - it makes for a bigger shank, which I prefer for heavy fabrics
Let me know if this makes sense . . .

Geo,
I need to redo a couple buttons on my 21, I am going to sew them back with a shank I will use a toothpick or matchstick for my spacer….. What did you do about the backing button, did you reuse or get rid of it. I think I might get rid of it what do you think? I find the buttons easier to sew on without the backing button.@Geo:

yep…
trying to save my pennies for NYC...
must avert eyes.............
:eyes casually glance around the room:This is really hard.
NYC is overrated in the summer. The 21 is much more entertaining. The humidity especially sucks, no good for IH… Nevermind the fact I sport Superblacks and a the 25 in July.
Buy away.
