Component Replacement

Snap, Crackle, Pop...Fixed!

Tell me a bit about component replacement

One of the most satisfying repairs! Hooks, loops, clips, buckles, cord locks, snaps, grommets, rivets... on packs, shoes, tents, jackets, vests....It's....riveting. Starting at $10-15 per item. Price increases with any added sewing time and difficulty accessing the area to switch out the component. Sometimes hammers, pliers and drills are involved!

​

As the exact component can be obsolete or difficult/impossible to source, and there are heaps of unique and proprietary versions of these little doodads:

  • the new one may not match

  • more than just one half may need replacing

  • sometimes the only option is a used one pilfered off donor gear or a totally different component with a similar function.
