Aaah you carry your knife in your watch pocket - ok Sir, carry on!..

[ALEX1976]

no longer!

[Seul]

Well, you could start wearing it like me:

[ALEX1976]

nooo dude…...looks not nice

[Seul]

It's the only way to wear it without causing damage… At work I pull my knife hundreds of times/ day so my options are limited... Practicality > looks.

[ALEX1976]

hmmmmm ok this declaring
the busters with knife pocket insinde is a great solution

[jimmy]

You guys need the Vulcan.

[Finn666]

removed the broken cotton-thread

and re-sewed it with poly-thread.

[Seul]

That's BRILLIANT!..

[jimmy]

nice one finn real clean repair. did you do it by hand?

[Finn666]

^yap…was pretty hard to find the holes though

[riffblaster general]

Suggestions anyone?  The button hole on my 634s is beginning to fray. Giles,  is this something you guys could fix?

[Giles]

Yep, but any half decent tailor should be able too….

[riffblaster general]

thanks G.  i'm searching the area for someone up to the task.

Anyone know of a way to prevent the entry from tearing more?  It's not that bad at this point (in my eyes), but I'd prefer to do something preemptive rather than let it wear more.  I've also seen injunjack's repair on this thread, however I'm wanting to actually repair the tear.

that can easily be fixed by hand..just use white thread and do it

[bob1258]

Here's a pic of the finished repair…please excuse the sloppiness, it was my first time using a needle:

Hopefully it'll hold…

looks good there bob. did you get lazy at the end there toward the left

[bob1258]

that was actually where I started from haha.  I didn't get that great of a 'feel' for it till the end there.

[jacoavlu]

looks reasonable
but of course if you put enough use to the pocket
to gain the wear in the first place
that repair is gonna go too eventually

you could do a little preventative
and throw a patch over that now
stitch it through and through from the outside
with some indigo thread won't be noticeable (from outside)
and will last much longer
