Digger Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Ok so i may have made a little booboo on the choice of coverall. I ordered something online (the cheapest one but it fits nice and tight.) and it has some problems, most of all visible buttons. It's one of those circles smashed into the fabric with a factory machine and this one is hiding in plain sight. visible side: inside: what is this called anyway? I want to replace it with some velcro to lock the top of the suit. I tried getting something thin in between, but it's giving me a hard time. Do you know if this can be removed without ripping the suit?
Retrofire Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I thinks that's going to be tough. Those little buggers are usually ringed with teeth to hold them to the fabric. Maybe you could sew a small disk of black fabric over them to camouflage them. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
Chopper Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Could you try some fine wire cutters to start to cut up the metal? That may let you bend it a bit for removal?
Dmorja Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Is it on the lapel or collar and will it be hidden under the flack vest and armor? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Dart Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 You can carefully cut them off. They will still mar the fabric a bit, but if you're careful, you can fix the holes. 1

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk There are several. I thought they would all be hidden behind armor, but this one is near the throat Could you try some fine wire cutters to start to cut up the metal? That may let you bend it a bit for removal? Brilliant.so simple and yet so effective! it worked, Thanks I thinks that's going to be tough. Those little buggers are usually ringed with teeth to hold them to the fabric. Maybe you could sew a small disk of black fabric over them to camouflage them. it was a bunch of teeth indeed. they didn't leave big holes though. Thanks for the advice guys, next hurdle! one pouch to be removed from leg is actually integrated into the leg stitching itself. 1
