    As Rex suggested, I'd take it in to JoAnne fabrics or whatever your local fabric and craft store is... but I'd take it a step further... if you ask really nice, one of the women there might take pity on you and just show you how to do the repair on the spot (fixing it in the process of course).

    Beat me to it. That's what I'd do, if I didn't have the snap tools (which I do).

    Simple fix, cost ya maybe a buck, if they don't just do it for goodwill.

    I have had this, and each time it's torn through the fabric. The snap itself was fine, but there is some issue that causes the snap to pull out of the fabric. I don't think resetting the snap would work with my Survivor. I'm considering taking my Survivor to a local leather shop and having them reinforce certain areas with some leather like elk or deer (don't stiffen up after getting wet) and putting the snaps through that. Has happened on my pocket closure and one which attaches the pocket to the kilt.
