    Maybe some of that iron-on patch material to cover the inside of those snaps...I don't use them either...they've chilled my in the winter.

    Think they're for reasurring newbies....at the Flagstaff games saw a guy in a new UK sprawled out on the grass while his lady tried to figure out what the snaps were for. Told them.

    My olive Original has the tendency to fly up in the back (not a good thing at a community college, even though the pres is a Scot) so I sewed a little metal snap on the inside of the inner apron and in the center back pleat. If it gets gusty, I can snap it closed. It tends to pull the inner apron back, so you can hardly tell it's snapped. The only down side is sitting on the little metal snap. I guess I should have put the male side on the apron, not the back. :-o Ah well....
