Nexbelt Failure!

[John from MD]

I've been having some stitching coming loose on the front inside portion of the belt. Been burning the loose threads with a lighter.

Mine is the same. It's like the "pills" we used to get on the polyester shirts. I just burn them off with a lighter. I am going to check my screws for tightness though.

Replacement screws and Allen wrench arrived over the weekend. The email to warranty@ nexbelt did the trick.

That's the trade-off with New Technology. Hard to imagine needing replacement parts for a leather gunbelt. but no quarter-inch adjustability.

Mental comfort of tried & true, or physical comfort tied to internet supply chain. I'll be traveling with a spare belt, I guess.

I checked mine which I have been wearing daily and all the screws are still tight.

Threads started coming loose on mine where the ratchet catches are. So I emailed them photos and got a response about 2 hours later asking for a shipping address. Good service in my eyes. This was yesterday.
I have come to really like the ratcheting mechanism of the belt. It took a while to get the hang of it but once I did, I like it.

It's really nice to be able to adjust when sitting down.

I have used a lighter on "pills" that form on the end that slides into the buckle but I think sundazes is talking about threads breaking around the ratchet teeth. I just took a look at mine and I have fuzz around the ratchet area (which a lighter cleans up) but no threads coming loose anywhere.

A lighter is a great idea. The gas stove option that I defaulted to can be overkill.

Gotta get me one of those.

Your belt is still pretty new and almost unused, I wouldn't ditch the gas stove quite yet.

Mine isn't fraying yet and still works great, but I've only worn it about a half-dozen days.

Does Nexbelt's warranty cover damage from "Dickey Do Disease"?

If you're rockin' a Dunlap then maybe you need Nexsuspenders

I am and they don’t.

Well, anything with Mammary glands or a motor will soon give you problems. Including some things man made.

Yeah, that's the one thing two things I didn't like about mine.

Called Monday and receive the replacement belt today. Not too shabby. They are in Cali.

Now you might try running a fabric adhesive along the stitch line of the old one and see if it stops the thread from unweaving.

Do you mean glue? IANAS (s- seamstress)

Yes, but it is made for fabric and flows easier. You can find it in Joannes fabric shop or in Wally World's sewing area.
