Reddit mentions: The best sewing fasteners

Upvotes for everyone!

Something good that happened to me recently (and linking to another person and telling something good about them all in one go!). Oh well I went to my friends birthday party last Sunday and thanks to /u/TheGirlFriday I was able to take an OBSCENE amount of gummy worms with me (a 5lb bag!). My friend was like "who told told you to get gummy worms? Or did you just randomly bring them?" I told her about the sub and how I came to be in posession of the bag of worms. She told me she had been really craving gummy worms and hadn't been able to find any other than the sour ones which she doesn't like. She thought maybe her girlfriend had told me about them. But I told her "no I'm just psychic". People nommed down on those things like they were going out of style, a couple got thrown at people. They were a big hit. So thanks to /u/TheGirlFriday I was able to help my friend have a good birthday and calm her gummy worm craving too! She's so sweet. :3

Hey /u/iactforclarinets welcome to the sub, come on in and participate in a contest why don't you! :D


You should get yourself this Awesome bucket of buttons! I saw you had a similar one on your WL. I've bought this bucket 4 times already, once for myself and 3 times for gifts for friends. It's always a big hit. Lots of variety of buttons. It's really great for all kinds of crafts. Get it and CRAFT ALL THE THINGS!!!

To be honest, you're asking a lot for your budget. If you want to sit next to the speaker and be able to listen to it at a reasonable volume, something like this would probably work well enough: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker-High-Def/dp/B00GZC35YK/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1427349938&sr=1-9&keywords=portable+speaker

But if you want to be able to actually be active and hear your music, you're going to have to get something much bigger. That said, you can do it without breaking your budget.

My advice would be to by a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Powered-Computer-Speakers-A100/dp/B00GHY5F3K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350132&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+speakers

Power them with this: http://www.amazon.com/Battery-13000mAh-Portable-External-Cellphones/dp/B00K64WR9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350210&sr=8-1&keywords=battery+pack

And fasten them all together with this stuff (it's incredibly strong, trust me) http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-All-Weather-Fasteners-Inches-RFD7090/dp/B00347A8EO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350273&sr=8-7&keywords=dual+lock

That comes in at around $49 and while it's not going to blast your music, it will do you much better than any sub $50 bluetooth speaker.

Now if you're willing to spend some extra money, get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker-Speakerphone/dp/B00E9YIFQ4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1427350482&sr=8-8&keywords=ultimate+ears

I can attest from personal experience that it's a pretty powerful little speaker, sounds great, and you can pair two of them for stereo listening.

What brand is she wearing? Elila or Goddess? Is the 46G recently measured? What are her measurements / what does the size calculator say?

​

In UK 46G she could get the Elomi Beatrice in 44GG and use an extender. Goddess Keira Nursing bra comes in US 46i, ditto the Elila 1613 Cotton Nursing Softcup.

​

If neither of them work, the Elila 1515 Jacquard Front-Closure bra would be worth looking into. The 1515 is not a nursing bra, wrangling your tits back into it while holding a baby at the same time is pretty much impossible, but it goes up M cup and a 50 band and thus is designed to support very large breasts.

​

For something pretty / more fun, Molke would be an option, but I don't know how well they scale on large cup / large bandsizes. https://www.molke.co.uk/pages/size-advice

​

I second the recommendation to convert regular bras into nursing bras. It is relatively easy to do. A bra that would probably work well for this would be the Elila 2311 because it has stretch lace in the cup. This bra comes with matching panties up to 5XL. She only has to get clips that are more durable than normal nursing bra clasps. I would recommend quick release buckles that are used in outdoor gear similar to this.

For pants you are going to need navy cargo pants which can be picked up from amazon or your local army surplus store. Your best bet for the shirt would be under armor or similar compression shirt. Unless you're willing to settle for black, the shoulder holster is going to be tricky. This is what I could find on amazon Brown Black. Leg holster Gloves.
A rock climbing harness can be expensive and now look like you want it to, I would suggest leaving it out (you will be more comfortable walking around, trust me) or getting some nylon webbing and making your own. Good luck with your gender bent Leon!

I find a smartphone or wifi tablet is really useful while traveling. Information, contact, entertainment are all useful features of a device. I really like having ebooks. You don't really need a data plan, wifi is pretty widespread.

That said, I often bring a single paperback book too. You might not always want to pull out your device everywhere, you don't have to worry about water or dust or pickpockets with a paperback. (But your paperback can't send email or check news or weather or take photos.) Plus travelers often swap books. Lots of hostels and hotels and coffee shops have book swap shelves. So you can trade off your book for another when its done.

I also find a money belt like this very useful. I keep some emergency cash, a photocopy of my passport, credit card, and itinerary in it. You might also consider hidden passport pockets like these to sew into your pants.

You can remove them but I personally just leave them attached all the time, I don't find that they get in the way of anything. I use this chair for my normal computer stuff too, the brackets haven't changed anything. Here's a picture of how my chair looks with the brackets to give you a better idea (don't mind the messy cables on the floor). My previous chair wasn't as wide as this one, so the brackets kind of squished my legs a little when I was sitting in it, but it's not a problem with my current chair.

The brackets are very sturdy, you can swivel and rotate them but it takes a lot of force to do so. There's no movement at all when I use my joystick. The only thing is with the velcro - over time, after you've attached and un-attached your joystick so many times, it loses its strength, in which case the joystick does wiggle around a little bit. I personally just replace the velcro every once in a while, and that works fine for me. You could try a heavier duty velcro if it's a concern. I've been using this kind and it's been good enough for me. Hope this helps!

Interesting thank you!! That just may do it :D I wish they said what the grommets were made of (am thinking that if they're a weak tin that they'd break easier), though if I order that and have 100 grommets I could literally put like 20 on the thing and use paracord (I've got some on-hand that'd be perfect for this) through them all to make a 'net' at the top that terminates at a hook so I can hang it from a chain (as it'll be an outside punching bag, am hanging it from a tree-limb :) )

There are tons of companies that make this stuff. ExOfficio you mentioned, Royal Robbins, Travelsmith and Magellan also come to mind. Or you could simply sew zippered pockets into regular pants, shirts, and jackets.

I don't know if a traditional man's wallet is the best way to carry your cash/cards, because the bulkiness makes it harder to stash; I find a simple zippered lightweight bag a bit bigger than a credit card is easy to slip into whichever pocket I want.

Consider the difference between easily accessible pockets vs. hidden ones not designed to be accessed en route short of an emergency. The former might be a zippered chest pocket as found on many shirts from Travelsmith, for storage of your daily cash allowance. The latter might be hidden inside a pair of pants or an undergarment, for storage of the bulk of your cash.

Hobo Traveler makes pockets that can be sewn into regular clothing.

Of course most of the above vendors make travel vests; Orvis may also. But you probably don't need a million pockets; consider sewing a pocket into an ordinary vest.

For women who may be reading along, a great option is the Macabi skirt, which has very deep, large pockets, and includes a somewhat hidden zippered pocket. Because of the pockets, the rain resistance, the wind protection, and the snaps that let you hitch the skirt up, this is an excellent choice for travel.

-cable tray(s) $22 - perfect for screwing into a think desk like yours, power strips can live in here as well

-nylon/velcro ties $7 - possibly cheaper at your local hardware store

With kush white walls like that a lil cable management might improve how you feel walking in every day!

Nice setup. Foot warmer could use some RGB tho

The towels ($2), thread ($.10). the sewing machine (depreciation or amortization cost would be something, but she already owns it so $.00), and the snaps ($.08), so that's $2.18 or a $7.82 profit a cone (if she sells them for $10). Let's say after making dozens of these she gets her time down from 30 minutes to say 15 minutes. Now she's making $31/hr profit. That sounds pretty good to me, and Mystitat seems like he was just looking for reasons for this not to be worth it. He wasn't being real man.

And oh ya, go fuck yourself.

I make my own. Before we had a sewing machine I used a snap tool I picked up ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01435LTUW/)
to snap piece of fabric together because I didn't have the patience to hand sew them. It was actually pretty effective and cheap all things considered.

Now I sew them. I have experimented with a number of different types and styles but my girls like honeycomb hammocks the best.

Awesome! Thanks mate.Found Some Extra Patches on Amazon as well. you'll have to put your own Velcro Backing on But that's easy enough.

Go to your local fabric store and buy a yard of rip-stop nylon for around $5 and a cordlock (or this kit from ripstopbytheroll). If you don't already have one yourself, find a friend or relative that has a sewing machine. Watch this video. In about 20 minutes, you will be the proud owner of a brand new stuff sack that is exactly the right size (with that yard of fabric you can actually make a few stuff sacks!). Then post a picture of your creation over on /r/MYOG and prepare for the onslaught of karma you will receive for your amazing creation!

The inner layer is more of a challenge, It’s from this pattern- https://m.imgur.com/gallery/kOXYm

I’m sure you could find a video on channels for drawstring, I just shook the down and made a folded edge then sewed it up.

The snaps, I bought a starter kit on amazon, size 20 kamsnaps, really easy installation- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01435LTUW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1509736223&sr=8-2-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=kam+snaps&psc=1

Extra length was from another throw I had, used the rest of the throw for a blanket for my pup.

It’s a fun project and a great piece of gear, I’m still learning as I go when it comes to sewing.
I say jump in and go for it.

I mean, can't they change their company name? I guess its probably not cheap, but then this is a problem literally because they have been too successful in their marketing

edit: Maybe I'm wrong, not an expert, but it seems to me they are in this predicament because they advertised their products as Velcro, not Velcro hook and loop.

https://smile.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Industrial-Strength-Strips/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1506366556&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=velcro&psc=1

None of them list hook and loop anywhere, though to their credit they do list Velcro BRAND very clearly. And one of them does mention the product type as fastener. They should start advertising and packaging them as Velco brand hook and loop fasteners. That way if someone challenges their trademark in court, they can point out that every single one of their product's promotional material clearly separates the product from the company - right now, that's not clear in their own marketing (outside this video of course).

So I think people make it sound harder than it is. I ordered this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FMUJ8BO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AI28QFU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I made paper cutouts of the rough shape of the sliders I want, transfered that to the teflon (with sharpie or so). Cut it out with a saw roughly and then just sanded with 120 to more precise shape, 200 to make it smooth, 600 to "polish" and then some sheep skin for really smooth edges at the end. The velcro stuff glued on to it out of the box and so far after couple months of curling having no issues with it adhering either to shoe nor teflon. The etched ones were expensive. I switches shoes since so the slider isn't perfect shape anymore, but still works perfectly well for curling so far. I also bought 2-component glue and all kinds of fancy chemicals to make it stick better, but the Chinese velcro has some magic glue on it already. Don't overthink it and just give it a try.

https://imgur.com/FVy61PE

P.S. with size 9, the 12x12 sheet was a bit tight, but should work up to 11 or so, depending what size slider you need. You can probably experiment with the hole in the middle etc. I also purchased these: https://www.stevescurling.com/product-p/sldisc.htm but they are a bit thin and don't slide fast enough imo, prefer the PTFE 1/4". Feel free to shoot me more questions, but it's really much simpler than it seems and a lot of people make it out to be.

ha ha ha! I sure hope so... I already have some rope and Velcro straps so this will be a nice alternative to add some variety.

Good start! Though the keystone jack type and cable type should match (Cat5e, Cat6a, and Cat6a all want different jack types -- slightly different spacing for punchdowns depending on cable specs).

  If you get everything on that list, it'd might seem like overkill for a home install (though you'll thank yourself and have fun showing off a very professional install to friends if you have the budget/time to spare to do everything to the nines). Resell value of your home probably won't increase a huge amount from this, but if you happen to sell to a buyer who understands how this stuff works, they'll significantly appreciate it.

I've used this to add velcro to a bunch of stuff. Super strong and reasonably priced. I needed to add a cloth badge onto the front of my carrier and couldn't find way to make it easy to remove. Worked very well. I've even had leftover velcro that I have used for other projects.

SB Dunks are mad comfortable and usually already have extra padded tongues.

If you chose to use the AJ1 upper i would personally put the SB tongue behind the AJ1's. Extra padding pushing against your foot feels very nice. That's what i get from my custom.

The eyelets are very easy to replicate. Just buy them from ebay with the piercing tool. You will then just have to paint them accordingly because they usually come in silver.

As for the inner lace holding the laces i would just use a random soft and small piece of lace and give it a knot from the inside. After lacing them together it would hold just as well. If you prefer to see the inner laces holding by themselves from the eyelets without the support of the outer laces, just super glue the inner knot to the inside of the eyelet and you are set.

This shouldn't be too hard. Just plan everything ahead and take your time. There's always dumb things we forget about even in simple tasks like these lol.

For the belt bag I just attach part of the bag with a carabiner. The bag has multiple hook points.

I don't have the QZ but I do have the GR1 which has MOLLE in a similar pattern.

What I do with MOLLE often is put a large split key ring (and/or fidlock) on one of the PALS (molle) and then use that to attach various carabineers to gear.

I also use double sided velcro as well.

For the other Zpack bags Zpack offers a self adhesive loop.

That is one nice thing about DCF is that glue/tape actually works pretty well for adhering things unlike nylon weaves.

The felt does both. The glass spacer doesn’t have the curve that follows the edge of the headset so the felt blocks light and gets the proper angle so the pad is actually resting on something. Everything is fastened by the adhesive of the felt or Velcro but I did use string to tighten a few places.

I use VELCRO Brand Industrial Strength Fasteners | Stick-On Adhesive | Professional Grade Heavy Duty Strength Holds up to 10 lbs on Smooth Surfaces | Indoor Outdoor Use | 4 x 2 inch Strips, 4 Sets, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_k7EsDbRW79609

This is the same Velcro I used to attach DAS it’s easy to cut to shape and applies very firmly.

I find the upside-down, shin-mounted controller method the most natural for foot tracking too. I've had good luck with one inch velcro one-wrap. One strip between the trigger and closest sensor, and one higher up the leg/controller.

The Vive wand naturally wants to settle off the actual bone of the shin towards the outside of the leg and foot. This position also seems to be a little less prone to occlusion issues.

I'm going to pick up a pair of the flipsteady VCM1 controller mounts a user posted below since they look nice and sturdy.

Official lighthouse-enabled foot-tracking is probably on the way, but it's nice to experiment until then!

I tried a luggage store a long, long time ago, but a google search seems to indicate that shoe repair stores are a good option.

Recently I had a broken zipper on some luggage, so I bought this off of Amazon. It was pretty easy once past figuring how to stitch without a thimble.

How about a DIY harness solution? Works great for me!

Here's all you need:

10-12' of 1" webbing - Here's 30' and it's only $7.85 - get creative and use the extra for additional straps. Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Strapworks-Heavyweight-Polypropylene-Webbing-Strapping/dp/B01KTVG0KI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536581470&sr=8-3&keywords=webbing&dpID=41Rlrv4YwXL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1&psc=1

And some heavy duty adjustable buckles - here's 10 for $8:

https://smile.amazon.com/10-Adjustable-Release-Plastic-Buckles/dp/B00DCZRLZW/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00DCZRLZW&pd_rd_r=a024606f-b511-11e8-bcdb-932140fb8169&pd_rd_w=2VDdD&pd_rd_wg=jlO0J&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&pf_rd_r=FQT5NVP8YN0D9B15J053&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=FQT5NVP8YN0D9B15J053

I assume you have an o-ring. Cut two pieces whatever length you need (lightly burn the ends with a lighter to stop fraying), double loop them through the o-ring and attach the buckles. Then pick out your favorite coffee table, footstool, pillow, etc. Attach straps first, then slide flared toy through the o-ring and mount up.

If you go this route, let me know how it works out.

Haha, it’s a “mounting system” that I’m actually super happy with!

Just two long pieces of Velcro strapping (about 1” wide) threaded over the desk frame but under the desk top. The Velcro overlaps itself around the bottom of the case, by about 18”. I also stuck a plastic door bumper between the case and the desk leg, to keep the case hanging more or less vertical.

It’s very very solid. Much more than I would have anticipated. I can hit the power button on the case without any movement at all.

Here is an Amazon link to the straps

I think you are way better of just adding them to the clothes you already love.. that's the first thing I do when I get a new pair of jeans or shorts..

Any tailor/seamstress can easily sew these wherever you want them.

I keep my ID, credit cards, and large amounts of cash in them.. if for some reason you have to access this during the day go use a restroom or do it where nobody else can see.. not a big deal.

And keep my smartphone and daily spending cash in my regular pockets..

I wear skinny jeans/shorts and it still hides this very well. I also personally think the zippered ones are better than the sellers who offer velcro as they make too much noise..

These are the ones I purchased:

Hey thanks a lot!

It's holding up using the strongest velcro tape I could find at my local hardware store.
It's strong enough as it doesn't move at all even my I plug or unplug XLR cables from it.

I think that's exactly what I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA

I would say it's as close to the vive w/ DAS as the quest could be comfort-wise, an immense improvement overall. The face cushion of the vive is more plush but that's the only difference IMO.

  edit: added new velcro

Their "slim" cut is absolutely huge man, there's no way someone of your size is going to fit properly in it. Like check their shirt dimensions, the difference between a slim and extra slim is 2.5" in both the chest and waist. The super slim is 4.5" slimmer in the waist comparatively.

​

I have a vastly different build from you at 5'7" 150 lbs, so much chunkier than you, but I had to get an extra slim fit 15" neck even though my normal neck is 15.5". There are collar extenders you can use so that the neck doesn't choke you out if you do go down a size.

I would use something like this plastic velcro which could also give the games a floating effect from the back. You could alternatively use standard velcro but it would be harder to keep them perfectly level.

Like others have said dog bed with rubber bottom should help. If you want it more secured add this to the bottom of the bed.

Use something like this to extend the zipper tab & you should be fine. And the zippers used in suits are usually pretty durable, plastic designed. At least I've never had one go out before the bum of the suit was turning see-through.

I used double sided Velcro “tape” a few weeks ago. Wrapped it twice around my leg at different heights and it worked perfectly. Can get a roll of it for $6-$7 and it has a ton of other nice uses.

VELCRO Brand - ONE-WRAP Roll, Double-Sided, Self Gripping Multi-Purpose Hook and Loop Tape, Reusable, 12' x 3/4" Roll - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000078CUB/

USB docking station may help or any type of docking station

Little things can help like :

-cable length (use length you need not anything longer; especially for the permanent fixtures that won't require alot of moving)

-bundle the wires up. I'll provide some examples

1)https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Management-Sleeve-additional-velcro/dp/B01N3ZTRWH/ref=sr_1_7?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1501796199&sr=1-7&keywords=velcro+wire

How adjustable depends on how much material was built into the thing, but your deadline of same or next day is pretty tight, especially since a tailor might still leave it in a state where it needs pressed afterwards.

You sure you can't just buy some off-the-rack pants at the men's warehouse or get a button extender if it's just 5 lbs ? https://www.amazon.com/Pant-Extender-Value-5-pack-Instantly/dp/B005OCRZO8/

Get some cord locks like these

Set up a few along the length of the wire and move them back as you go. If you do it right it should keep everything in line pretty well.

They make these button extender things that loop onto the button and give like an extra half inch to work with if you try the 14.5 Try these

I’ve used them before and they work pretty well.

you can try something like this, https://www.amazon.com/Approx-Adhestive-Strips-Sticky-Fastener/dp/B01AI28QFU/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RAQ8RH8B64KGGQGA7DST. which is attached via adhesives on both the patch and the box. once they are both secured, you can stick the patch on or take it off the box whenever you'd like.

For anyone else interested in adding this to their Formula rim:

The Velcro has a sticky back that will glue to almost any surface. I just prepped the bag and the patches by cleaning them with alcohol. I didn't even have to stitch anything. It glues on very strong. I got it from my local hardware store. I'm sure you can find something similar online Like This

This is my list.
4x2" Industrial Velcro
Tri-Glide Slide
1.5" Wide One Wrap Velcro

Other people use a D-Ring instead but I prefer the look of the tri-glide slide instead. You need to make sure to use Industrial Velcro for the attachment of the DAS.

Here is what mine looks like

Try some 3M dual lock pads like they use on the back of the EZpass transponders and such. I use these on my cam and it's very easy to take off and put back up. https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-All-Weather-Fasteners-Inches-RFD7090/dp/B00347A8EO/

This is what I was talking about:

I feel like enough of those, along with some good paracord and a properly anchored hook, would do the job.

I would use double sided tape of some sort to make-shift put it back on, or a better option would be to purchase adhesive Velcro straps like these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HADEA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GFr7CbN78G7WD

I use the DAS that i had for the vive, ordered the 3d printed pieces to hook the pimax to it. Pimax face foam felt good but need the HMD around an inch or two more from my face. Used double sided velcro in between the face foam and HMD and it looks like it just might be enough.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000078CUB

While the naysayers are right and it's a bit unsafe I recommend strong velcro tape like this, in the case of a crash the battery pack would be ripped off, but under all other conditions that velcro will hold anything securely in place even at speed.

> 5). Don't wear anything with spikes.

im making a denim vest with the little square pyramid studs on it for the show right now lol

>10). They say keep your wristband on for the duration of the festival, but honestly if you leave it a little loose you can manage to get it on and off at the beginning and end of the day.

COUGHCOUGH

A little more compact version and if you're looking instead to add snaps, Kamsnaps are awesome for that.

Maybe try something like this Scotch(R) All-Weather Fasteners, 2 Sets of 1 Inch x 3 Inches, Strips, Clear (RFD7090) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00347A8EO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_QL7PCb0PW60YH

I've seen pre-made zippered pockets you can sew into the inside of clothes. Here's a tutorial for making your own: http://blog.fehrtrade.com/in-progress/795/a-hidden-travel-pocket-tutorial/

Also I just discovered that if you search "secret cash pocket" on Amazon you will find all kinds of inspiration for places to add pockets

The patch is iron-on so I attached some of this Velcro with its adhesive and it has worked great.

Unless you're going to be doing a lot of them, I'm going to just recommend something like these

If you want the 'I dont want to see any hanging wires look', you might get good results if you mount the power strip beneath your desk. Since it seems rather large it may be heavy. You can either screw it into your desk or you could try heavy duty Velcro Strips. There are also under desk trays and baskets you can use to just hold everything.

If you dont mind some wires showing, you can try sleeves for the cables and use a cable box for the power strip.

I found some really soft double sided Velcro from the craft store and it works really well with the sport sheet harness and my medium Nova as well as Peirce.

Edit: I believe it's this Velcro https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB/

Get some [Zipper Pulls] (http://www.amazon.com/Chums-20190-Zipquix-Zip/dp/B0013UZ8C6) and it'll be a lot easier to get those suckers on. Also it always helps to make sure the corners are both unattached - this gives you some slack.

These and a some of this are useful too

After googling your keywords this looks different but similar. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047AKK0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Y0dCCbX1PNN5B
So a smaller version for smaller gromets?
When you squeeze the handle only the little bump touches the other side. Like it would make a dent in a piece of paper

Looks like you need a specific tool to attach them

Sticks to glass, and pretty much anything else. Removes without any residue.

Maybe a collar extender would help reduce the contact without making the neck hole too large?

I bought my Velcro on amazon but I went to Home Depot for a D ring and found the same Velcro there as well

Just did this on my tent. Also fixed an old jacket. Good kit...

How much are you off by? if its a small amount, you could sew the button back on, and put on a button extender, similar to this.

https://www.amazon.com/5-Pack-Button-Pant-Extender-instantly/dp/B005OCRZO8

If you need to add one inch, this would work, and the belt would cover it up. If you are off by 2 or more inches, I don't think think this would be a good plan.

Hershey Park

The cheapest hotel nearby.

This is going to definitely be needed if I'm going to Hershey.

Hmmm... hmm... hmm.... /u/Cheesey_Cakes because they really need to get out more. :P

The long wait for the VRCover drove me to find an alternative so I took a gamble on some Vive face cushions. There are probably better alternatives but here is what I did:

​

Bought this

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCHYD6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and this

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010HADEA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I cut the velcro strips into little rectangles and put them on the glasses spacer, then I simply attached the face cushion to spacer. It doesn't fit perfectly, you gotta work it into the correct shape. However I actually dig the foam padding, it's more comfortable than the stock foam and doesn't absorb sweat which I really like. It's not a high quality product though, there is some tearing at the seams but it doesn't seem to be getting any larger. Also depending on how you get the cushion to fit there could be a little leakage on the sides, not much though. I don't know notice it at all while playing. No idea if that makes the Quest vulnerable to sun damage so be careful and don't blame me if you damage your Quest. Lastly, the foam makes wearing certain glasses uncomfortable, I use some thin harry potter style glasses for VR though and they work just fine. Obviously not a perfect solution but it works well for me.

​

Edit: Just noticing there are Vive Pro cushions (I hadn't noticed before). Those might work out better for glasses. Can't say for sure.

Yes, REI does as well. The common name for them is cord locks.

Plastic Cord Locks End Spring Stop Toggle Stoppers Multi-colour (10PCS, Black)

If Amazon ever puts the head strap back on sale for $9.99 you should get a couple of them. Why? Because you can remove the mounting plate from the straps without cutting them. This is important because it means you can make a chest strap for about $10-15, depending how fat you are. I haven't done it yet because I just figured this out the other day and am still working out the details.

You can buy 10yds of 1.5" nylon webbing with 30 matching sized buckles for $17 along with a ten pack of 1.5" triglides for $7. Snip and sew, and you've got a chest harness.

The one thing I'm working out is the chesty they sell has two straps attached to the mounting plate that go over your shoulders to a three point to stabilize it from bouncing. Since the head strap's plate only has the one strap slot I was thinking of putting the three point up front. I'm not sure if this will be uncomfortable or not, or get in the way of zippers and the like. Thoughts?

It's a cord lock for something like a drawstring.

Like this

http://www.amazon.com/KYDEX-Sheet-0-028-Thick-Black/dp/B00KDMLJ0A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451183913&sr=8-1&keywords=Kydex

I used things like these, my oven, and a YouTube tutorial. Kydex, when heated is very pliable, and cools solid. If you mess up, you can heat and remold again. You only need .06 thickness, any thicker is left to gun holsters. I then use an old belt to help mold a g-clip from a Kydex strip, and thats really it. I haven't bought a sheath in many years. Any further questions, just reply, I'll check back in the morning.

Disclaimer: I have used this method to keep combat boots tied and tight for the last 12 years of a military career, this is a tip for anyone that wants to make their life significantly easier during airsoft while running around in combat boots.

Step 1: Grab a set of Cord locks from anywhere (ebay, amazon, random gear)

I like using these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FH9DYU6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Step 2: Take the laces and feed them through the clip and tie a knot on the end of each lace

Step 3: Put foot in boot, tighten cord locks down to comfortable point of boots

Step 4: Wrap the laces around the back of the boot and around the cord lock

Step 5: Make the laces taut and tuck the ends or what’s left over into the boots

Step 6: Enjoy a day of running around without worrying about your boots coming undone

Side note: Sometimes the laces will get a little slack in them but your boots will remain tight on your feet, when they get slack, just make them taut again and tuck back into boot

Edit: damn auto correct!

Looks like some of THIS cut to length + some of THIS = What the guy in your picture is wearing.

Same happened to my girlfriend's AGV K4 helmet. I just bought a pack of metal snap buttons for a few bucks (got a pack of 10 at the local fabric store for a dollar) and put it on. No tools needed, though using a fastening tool is a lot easier on the fingers.

I wear the pace rival crops and I love them, mine don’t slip but I did buy a size down. In the past before I sized down, I used those plastic spring cord lock things on the drawstring instead of tying it in a knot. I get the flat ones and they don’t bother me at all during the workout. You can find them on amazon or probably in a craft store.

ETA: link for what I’m talking about https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FH9DYU6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xZYyCbBD1SP75

I use a couple of these for tightening the string, I don't have to mess with the rods.

Buy this, only use the hook side, and cut to fit.

I’m using Velcro, that way, I can adjust or remove the camera whenever I need to.

I don't think you're going to find one with a hook. However, you can get some grommet pliers (get the right size!) to go with grommets with hooks that, maybe, you can find somewhere (2 minutes of looking and I haven't found any, and now I surrender the search to you).....

I think you should gift /u/Kearnia because they gifted quite a lot yesterday just for the hell of it <3 - this is an under $10 item but anything from her wishlist

This is the piece you probably need less. Buy only this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0749JN5G7/

and some strips of double sided Velcro to make it thicker if needed.

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB/

​

use the 18mm as front cover (and a cut of 6mm for the nose)

I wouldn't get these. Grab a continuous roll of double sided velcro instead. Cut it to the exact length you need and there's no excess to wrap up. Also more durable.

You might be able to find it cheaper in a store.

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB

I use https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Double-Sided-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000078CUB for cable management and something like https://www.amazon.com/PERFECT-VISION-MOUNTING-SATELLITE-CT7BLK-MH/dp/B00XUYJZBI depending on the location.

I used to zip tie all the things, but hated having to cut a bunch just to add or remove a cable.
