@Gammaman That’s not my cup of tea…

Some wallet’s have a strap that hold the wallet from opening in case it falls out when you’re riding. In this case I couldn’t tell if it was the strap attaching the wallet to the belt or if it was a strap to keep the wallet closed.

If it was either, an option would be to replace them if possible. If it was to the wallet itself the repair could/would be much more difficult.

Sorry @goosehd it just the attachment maybe I should upgrade and get a GA one.

@seawolf may have an idea about how to stitch the two items together. He would be our resident expert, which is the reason I have tagged him for help.

Kids aye

@Gammaman @goosehd

I think a few stitches could make that whole again if you don't mind the look of a repair. If it were mine, I'd use red stitching so it looks intentional, and because I like red. Glue however, won't last very long, so I'd stay away from that unless you want to repeat the repair over and over. Glue will also be messy. Where are you located? I might be able to do it for you, or perhaps even point you in the direction of a leather crafter in your area.

Thanks @seawolf I live in Poole in Dorset UK.

@seawolf Thank you for your help!

[seawolf]

@Gammaman I don't know of anyone near you, but I'm sure you can track someone down that can help. If you get stuck, please feel free to message me and maybe I can do the work for you.

[seawolf]

@goosehd Happy to help!

[ARNC]

He’s back, and caught in the act this time

[Gammaman]

Thanks @seawolf you’re so kind I don’t fancy posting a wallet leash half way around the world just for a little nick just because of my OCD. I can live with it for now. Thank you.

[goosehd]

@steelworker. Being from VA/WV I may have had squirrel gravy once or twice in my youth

[steelworker]

@goosehd hey you gotta eat

That’s what my dad taught me during the 70’s, early 80’s and you did what you had to. He did everything under the sun to put food on the table and taught me how to never go hungry. With a fishing pole, .22lr, and the ability to plant a garden, you’ll never go hungry.

I once did a 'survival' weekend course with my boys. The guy (an ex-special forces) told us you need 22 squirrels per day to feed your daily needs of calories. European squirrels may be smaller than American, but I your dad must have been a good shooter.

(We ate rat on that weekend.)

[Matt]

That’s an awful lot of squirrels.

How disappointing:
