How To Repair Stretched Waist Band In Mens Underwear

A Gold Fellow member of the Underwear Repair Club sent us their beloved Jordache men'southward black briefs. They had owned them since 1999. Every bit you can meet they accept extensive damage in the buttocks and thigh regions. The waistband had lost all its elasticity and no longer was tight on the waist. As part of our delivery to our club member, nosotros tackled this claiming with gusto.

When showcasing repair work for instance studies, all Underwear Repair Club Repair Associates wear protective Fruit of the Loom underwear under the end-of-life underwear.

How we repaired these Jordache underwear

Every bit you can see, the buttocks were completely worn away from years of utilize. The thighs were also worn, possibly from running. The waistband was reported to be originally 34 inches, but over 18 plus years, had stretched to 41 inches in circumference.

Preparing the Reclaimed Underwear

Because the Jordache'due south waistband was stretched beyond repair, we surgically removed a waistband from a 6 year onetime Fruit of the Loom reclaimed underwear.

Replacing the waistband

Once the reclaimed underwear waistband had been removed, information technology was simply a matter of attaching it to the Jordache's. To accomplish this, a cream lath was used to tack the underwear to the waistband. This ensured the underwear was attached when the waistband was at maximum stretch, allowing the underwear to relax naturally when the waistband returned to its normal state.

Then it was simply a matter of sewing the waistband on to the underwear.

Tackling the Butt Plate

Subsequently xviii years of sitting, running, and living, the fabric forth the Butt Plate was shredded severely. At Underwear Repair Order, we pride ourselves on re-using all parts of the underwear, but in this case, the butt was a lost cause.

Understanding what happened to the last Butt Plate, we re-used the Jordache waistband equally reinforcement seams forth the butt, similar to how a jock strap works. This allowed united states to excise the shredded Butt Plate, while strengthening the underwear for another 18 years of wear.

Repairing the Thigh Zones

With the Barrel Plate in place, we next took aim at the thighs. This was the easiest of tasks. Using the remainder of the reclaimed underwear, we replaced the right and left thighs. Nosotros matched the original seams as closely as possible. There was some modest patchwork on the inner thighs.

Return to the Butt Plate

If y'all've been post-obit along and then far, you may take noticed we left out a key component for proper underwear. Our repaired underwear is missing the Barrel Plate. At Underwear Repair Guild, we have the barrel very seriously. Given the damage we witnessed on the previous Barrel Plate, nosotros added an Underwear Repair Order enhancement.

Interchangeable Replacement Barrel Plate

Using Velcro, nosotros added 5 tabs of attachment to the inside of the reclaimed Jordache waistband. From there, we cut out a Butt Plate sized section from the original reclaimed Fruit of the Loom underwear. For the fun of it, nosotros also included a second Butt Plate from an earlier underwear paradigm (come across striped Butt Plate).
