Thread: Dress Blues pressing

No we didn't button hole our own blues. Take em to the tailor and shell out $50 to have the buttons cut off then a stitched hole in place. Then you went and bought the anodized brass and put it on yourself. You know the buttons with that miniature key ring thing to go on the back side of them. Original issue the buttons were sewn on and were not anodized so would fade and tarnish over time.

you guys used to button hole the jackets yourselves? and i thought they had a crease in the front/back. some say crease others say no, id rather tell the cleaners NOT to crease the jacket than tell them how to and they f it up. thanks guys for the help.

Yes the buttons on the shoulder pads come off. Place the blouse on your rack. On the inside back of you will see each side has a panel of material inside of the outer material. Reach between the two layers up towards the shoulders. You will need to feel around until you find the ring that holds the button in place, there is some padding that you will have to move out of the way. The ring is like your car key ring - once you find it you simply...

No creases on the sleeves. As for the top buttons, I'm pretty sure they come off but not 100% sure myself, sorry.

I got mine issued to me in boot. Came exactly the way you wear it, with no creases. I just had my ball too, no one creases the blues.
