How to repair a broken buckle of the hip belt.

Step 1 — Determining the correct buckle size

To determine the correct buckle size, measure the webbing with a measuring tape. For example, if the webbing has a width of 25 mm, you will also need a buckle that matches this size.

Step 2

Carefully unpick the seam on the webbing using the tool of your choice.

Step 3

Remove the thread remnants.

Step 4

Thread the new buckle onto the webbing.

Step 5

Sew along the folded edge of the webbing.

Step 6

Briefly burn the end of the webbing to prevent it from fraying later. Lightly press the melted edge with a non-flammable object (e.g., with pliers).

Step 7

Result.
