my 10year old pants used snap buttons instead,,,,1)easier to snap/unsnap, 2)less bulky

Zuperpent+ also uses snaps. ALL Japanese cuffed pants use snaps. My flannel and fishback navy trousers will both have snaps.

Yes, yes. I'm sewing on snap buttons right now.

But the ones in Japan are very tiny and snap very snugly. In Malaysia, snap buttons are larger and low quality. On my flannelpent one of them was defective and had to be replaced.

The city I'm going to this weekend has many haberdashers. I'm gonna source of ALL SORTS OF STUFF THERE.

So which part of the pants is this suppose to be? And why not jsut sew it on, instead of having buttons etc? Why would you unsnap them?

snap buttons are pasttense, im using velcro right now-----zappp zapppppppppppp

have you try cleaning dirty / muddy cuffed pants?

I dunno... i never washed anything by hand. Into the washing machine it goes....

I'm using old world snap buttons from my grandmother's place. It says 'made in england'.

I suppose you've never worn cuffed pants before.

Velcro is just like machine made buttonholes and fused suits. Buttons are the win.

Do you know how to do a crochet stitch?

Velcro's a bad idea - Lint and other items are going to get caught on it.

you knit?

Not really. Just use your fingers to form the loops. You need to be good with them.

Why don't you make a few with detachable collars? By doing so , the shirt can be worn for work too.

Zuperpent+ has nothing serged.

Added on September 4, 2010, 8:16 pmBeau, you ought to drop by Fit & Match at The Curve and see Ron someday. The guy's incredible. Have a meal first, then go relieve yourself in the toilet before you go see him. You will not come out in less than 2 hours.

Commission something from him. Bring a jacket of yours along for a critique. Ask him for his sentiments toward Wardrobe.

He made me a high end shirt -- not his standard make at all for no extra charge. His prices are realistic, and he makes all his shirts in-house. You can tour his small workshop right there in The Curve.
