Blue Jeans Button repair (second time is a charm)

[@bigvicsworkshop]

That's good info to know... especially with the Holiday's here... I might pop a few buttons! lol.. Nice fix, Mr. Joe!

[@357magdad]

Nice fix Joe!

[@joeheilm]

Thanks. I was skeptical at first, but i think it turned out to be a solid fix. Cheers.

Seems like to back piece should have a larger surface area like a washer to keep it from pulling through the material.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Great ideal. That would work on my liberty overalls. Thanks 😊 🙏

[@alexstools]

My mom has a set like that I use now and then. Most important what I've learned is having a really sturdy underground that doesn't move, like a concrete floor or and anvil (so concrete floor in my case 😂)

I'm trying to figure out what to do when the previous button has ripped out and theres a big hole left, like on this pair of jeans. He put the new button right next to the hole, but it just seems like as the previous hole unravels it will cause the new button to rip out as well?

[@joeheilm]

I'd guess darning would be the best fix. Here is a video I found. Good luck. Cheers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGTZXnWvoLiKgpIsi=kfWBYSNayRbw8SP5

The one you called a "screw" is ringed, not threaded.

[@vocals7693]

It's rare that I've had them come off. I'm wondering if it's worth it to spend money on a kit instead of just buying a new pair for $10 at Walmart.

Great video on button repair. You never really think about that. Thanks Joe!

How about a fender washer on the back side for more support?

[@joeheilm]

Good idea, if i get some time tomorrow, ill see if i can find some washers and some old jeans to test the idea. Cheers

[@Le_Petit_Lapin]

I just use the screw ones and put a wee drop of superglue in the screw hole before I tighten it.

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

Do you also do hems? I’ve got some jeans that drag the ground in back!…lol

[@joeheilm]

I wish i could hem, i have lots of jeans that drag 🤣. I do own a nice sewing machine and i even took classes. However, sewing takes patients, and attention to detail, both of which I lack. Cheers

[@phoenixsage29]

Where do i buy those buttons an nail thingys? Lol

I posted a link from Amazon. Cheers

[@ScoutCrafter]

I never liked those fasteners. They are prone to fail when my large girth presses against them and adds tremendous force to the backplate. =D

[@nickcockayne7871]

that's not a button repair, it's a button replacement

[@joeheilm]

Good point. Cheers

[@corydriver7634]

Honey what are you watching? The guy from Joe’s Shop is putting a button on his wife’s jeans. Why are you watching that? Cuz it’s Joe’s shop. Oh.
