Clothing: Identification of Carhartt Jacket Snap

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 12:04:51 -0700

I need to lengthen the sleeves my Carhartt Detroit jacket. I want to install snaps to the sleeve extensions. Carhartt sent me jacket snaps, (see attached.)

I'm familiar with regular cloth snaps and have a crimper for their installation. The snaps sent by Carhartt are different. Looking at the existing snaps on the sleeves, I assume that these snaps are set using normal die punch tools. However, I'd like to see the installation of these types of snaps.

Can anyone confirm the correct installation tool for these snaps and ideally provide a video or guide

My Patagonia ski jacket has a neck insert on the inside collar that's almost as long as the collar.

It partially came unglued after washing. Can I glue it back on, and what glue should I use?

My Patagonia ski pants are about 10 years old and the only problem is some small holes that have developed on the inside bottom of the reinforced cuff. They now gather snow inside. This normal wear-and-tear is 100% on me and I’m willing to pay. Is this something that you can help me with? Thanks!

While skiing in powder yesterday, I fell and the released ski evidently ripped a hole in my one-year-old Powder Bowl jacket near the left outside pocket. Is this a warranty issue? If not, is there a patch available or should a needle and thread be used?
