    Question HH worth fixing?

    i've got an Expedition A-sym that I managed to rip the bug netting in two places. One rip is about 6-8 inches and the other is around 18 inches. Not really sure how it happened but I suspect the velcro caused at least one of them.
    So, is it worth trying to get fixed or should I just replace it?

    Nope. Total loss. Send it to me

    Seriously, if you don't sew then find a good seamstress or seamster(?)and have it repaired. I doubt it will be a big deal or high cost.

    If the rips aren't too jagged, it could be hand-sewn during an episode of Colbert Report. Could probably do it with a machine in less than 3 minutes. Probably very little impact other than some added character.

    On second thought, I bet it's a total loss. Better send it to Skids...

    I would just sew it up, patch or seam, either way is proly good. However, if you want it to look nice you could always send it to Tom and have him (them) put a nice new one on for ya. Call first and I am sure they will give youo a price to do it over the phone.
    If you have arrived here by accident, I suggest panic.

    I can never sew during Colbert. He's far too engaging.

    If you can not sew, send Penny an email - she goes great work!
    So be it.

    I have trouble sewing on a button! I wouldn't mind getting it repaired , heck I used it for a month after it happened with duct tape holding the tears closed so they are a little jagged. Think I'll shoot out an email to get a quote from Tom.
    Thanks everyone!
