Belt Loop Gone= New Gi Pants?

[SteelFlex]

So my Gameness gi pants, the belt loop string has begun to shred and is basically a mess. I asked one of my instructors on where to get a new string and how to fix it but he said that once the string is gone, that means the pants are also.... is this true?

The belt loop can be fixed. Just take it to a tailor.

I've had mine repaired a few times. Very simple and easy.



If the tie string itself is shredded, then you might be in trouble.

Sorry, I don't mean the belt loop, I meant the tie string... and yeah it's almost completely shredded.

Try a fabric store. I've re-strung a few gis over the years that way.

Measure the length of the shredded pants tie.

Go to your local fabric store and find any scrap or canvass in that length. Make it 1" by whatever the last string was.

Fold it in half to 1/2 inch and sew along the seam. Fold it in half again to 1/4 inch and sew.

Close up the ends and you're done. It should take no longer than five minutes excluding the trip to the fabric store.

You can also take the shredded string out of the pants completely and get a shoe lace. Then put a safety pin on the end of the shoe lace and re-lace it through the pants. The safety pin helps you to get it through the waist of the pants. It can take about a half hour but well worth it. And I always use a shoe lace cause it always around.
