Almost ruined medium Skinz bag
Bag was in the back of my truck for a week right next to an oozing dinner size garage bag of pogies. When I found out what was taking place I removed Skinz bag and emptied all the plugs, tins, and hardware onto deck. Soaked Skinz bag in a solution of 10 % bleach, Dawn in water. Worked somehwhat at getting putrid aroma out of bag. Don't get me wrong I know of worse smells and I didn't want the smell entirely out of the bag just mostly. Anyway one day when wife was at work I washed it in the old sears washing machine. The bags strap got caught going around the spindle and pulled tight against the strap end  where it is sown into the actual bag. Strap is still in one piece but the side of the bag is torn about half way down. I am thinking that I am going to rivet it back together if I an gather enough material together. I believe I will still have enough room in bag for everything. Any other ideas? |

I'd worry more about the washer. Women can get kind of cranky about us guys doing stuff like that. Not that I would have any ideas..... 
A few years back my wife came home (she was supposed to be gone with my sister for a few hours) early and found me rigging eels on the kitchen table............. |

Send it back to the manufacturers and say it failed under normal wear and tear. "Honestly I was just reaching in to get a blurple needle and the side just ripped"
Oh, Wait a minute.....They can read this stuff here can't they? 
can you get by with wearing it on your belt instead of over the shoulder? |

Thats why I planned it for a day when she wouldn't be home. Ran the washer through two cycles afterwards also.  |

I usually try to work things like that out too. Only problem is I get busted most times.
On a serious note you could try stitching it with a heavy needle and some rod thread. |

swimmer- most shoe cobblers have the equipment to fix that. If its on the seam take a piece of a 2"wader belt and have them patch it up.

Now that's funny ... My wife still gets huffy over the jar of skins in the refer. Keeps asking when I am throwing them out. I keep telling her that they are old and have mojo..  |

If you can find a cobbler around anymore - there used to be a guy near me that was excellent - but with the throwaway society we now have - he had to close his doors. That is a good idea though, a cobbler should be able to patch that up real good, |

Try an awning or canvas/boat cover shop. Should be an easy fix.
