How to Remove and Replace the Snaps on a Leather Vest 

You made that look real easy!!

Great video! I love working with leather in jewelry too - this would be the same technique for making a leather bracelet with snaps :)

I hold the button part (front side), of the snap with a pair of vise grip pliers to keep it from spinning under the drill bit, and damaging the leather. Do you know what these vest extenders are supposed to be for. I'm old school (48 years of riding motorcycles). We used to wear the vests open, or buttoned/snapped closed in the summer. In the winter you wore your leather jacket with the vest over it. You added extenders so you could keep the front closed while riding (over the jacket it couldn't reach to close without the extenders). Now days, people are mostly so heavy, and big bodied, that extenders have become common for use year round. LOL.

Thumbs up. Thank you for the video. This is most helpful.

Just wondering what brand the. Vest is, looks like nice quality leather. Thanks for video.

I needed to see the part of the snap

This is exactly what I need to do on an old leather jacket that was given to me. The top of the snap was shut in a car door or something. There's a perfectly straight line crease dent in it. I'm having to use a binder clip on it to keep the cuff closed currently.

This was awesome!!! Thanks so much.

very cool video. where do I find snaps with designs and buffalo's. Finding decorative and fun snaps are difficult.

I want to remove some decorative snaps from a vest, and reuse them on another vest (cause it has a decorative design). Is this possible? Or will the button be destroyed after removing it?

Bench vise works also, less pounding

Texas 🏆

where do the snaps come from

Does it work on canvas

Why doesn’t anyone tell you how to replace the other part of the snap? The bottom section? Thanks.

Now I can fix my coat.

You dont need too do all that just use a fork 😅😅😅
