eBay purchase not as it seams..

[Bozzy]

So I bought a pair of Triumph kevlar jeans through eBay. They were up for £25 which looked great value as Triumph jeans are £169 on their website.

They came pretty quick and I am pleased with them apart from one thing... The stitching where the knee armour velcros to the inside of the jean had come away, but rather than be repaired with a quick needle and thread, the previous owner had stapled it back on!

Who in the right mind repairs biking jeans with staples!? Can you imagine the damage they would do to your legs in a slide? Needles(s) to say I removed them and stitched it back up.

Anyway, just thought I would post a thread about it and vent a little. Has anybody else bought something (through eBay or otherwise) that has had a dodgy repair?

I would be inclined to ask myself if wearing substandard "protective" clothing would be wise if the stitching comes apart especially for £169 rrp.

I'd have glued it or used double-sided tape.

Wilko's fabric glue. You'll never be able to unstick it ever again

So glad I paused re spelling, like what you did there.... just this week used super glue on inner zip of textile jacket, worked a treat.

I patched my leathers arse with a bit cut from a Karen Millen handbag, lovely soft leather. unfortunately it wasn't the handbag my missus meant me to use!
