Utilikilt loose Snaps

Hey Tundramanq, thanks for this posting. I own 7 UK's (4 workmans, 2 originals, 1 camo) and went back and checked them. They ALL have snaps that can be rotated. I have a snap setter and went back and reset all loose snaps. I am in a UK every night after work, and on weekends, both when about town or when working about the house so the snaps get a lot of use. Fortunately no damage, but glad to have averted it before the fact.

I just wish Utilikilts would have stepped up to this defect and at least warned us of this peril. Some companys talk ethics and some are ethical it's a shame.
Another two UKs are on ebay now with ripped out snaps. Seller isn't ethical as I believe he is covering the tears with pennies.

If totally desperate, you might be able to write to UK and request enough fabric to make a new over-apron. Then ripout the stitching in the waistband and set to work. But that's a *lot* of work....

People have asked about replacement pockets on their Facebook page and got denied. Excuse used was it's not worth thier time to make just pockets.

Even with the snap kit from Fabricland or wherever, when setting snaps on my projects I usually go back over the inside of it with a small punch. This helps to get things set down firmly, once you've got them fairly started with the little jig.
