Fixing the Croissard

[tkexi991]

I am having crotch strap problems.

On my Santelli foil lame - the nylon has frayed at the front, and my feeble attempts at sewing it back in have come to naught. Right now I have some velcro that will hold it in place when I stand on guard - but will fall off during the bout.

On my LP Atlanta FIE jacket, the croissard is in the beginning stages of fraying.

What steps are most efficient at repairing these straps? Or is it more reasonable to just replace them? Will any seamstress do?

We do this type of repair all the time. My website is www.yeoldearmourer.com We have a 24 hr turn around somtime the same day we get it. We have 2 seamstress on staff.

Wow dude, I am having the EXACT same problem. Except, mine has not frayed all the way through so I have yet to worry about it.
