metalwinger13 1 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 I picked up a pair of used tackla pants left over from a local high school team. The downside is they have a rip in the back of one of the legs. I was curious if anyone out there could inform me on the best materials and where to possibly find them to fix this rip. I was planning on just sewing it, if that helps anyone out.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sewed a couple of rips in my hockey pants with a heavy-duty needle (designed for sewing pillowcases together) and thick nylon thread, held up nicely.

AfftonDad 88 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Since I always seem to have an old ripped up hockey bag lying around (my pants are black and my bags are black), I cut up a piece of material from it and use that as a patch. I generally use a speedy stitcher to do the sewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
