I've been wearing this nice leather fanny pack for a few years now. Suddenly the plastic connector breaks today. Any solutions for the broken fanny pack strap for the aspiring bodybuilder, or just the random florida cracker carrying wallet, G27 and two hi-caps, plus breath mints?

thanks getbig!

Get a Highnoon IWB for the G27 and stick one of the hicaps in your pocket, leave the other at home. If you can't get it done with 21 rounds, you're either in the wrong neighborhood or in Iraq.

Distribute the rest shit in cargo pants and ditch the fairy fanny pack.

Of course you could buy a replacement buckle, and see if a cobbler or seamstress could open the stitching, fix the buckle, and resew -

Who wears a fanny pack anymore? I thought that went away with mullets. If you want one Desantis makes a good one.

I'm in the wrong neighborhood. SW FL is fcking wild lately. 1-3 murders daily, dead bodies in rivers, houses exploding... shit is wild at the moment. its hot out, people are broke. I don't check the mail without my kid giving me cover with the .22 from rooftop crows nest.

I got this one a couple of years ago but I never used it once. I can't bring myself to wear it.

Huge fan of fanny packs. I know they are out of style and people give me a hard time about it but I don't care. They're so damn practical and gives you easy access to your wallet and your gat 9 (

). But very hard to find those old school kind that were great. The one I have now cost more and is not as manageable as the last one I had that was `15 years old. But make fun all you want, I'll always be rocking a fanny pack.

Best part about them is you could throw all your shit in there and as long as u didn't lose the fanny pack you were good. None of this I have my wallet but where are my keys? Got my phone but were is my after workout supps? Haha

Why don't you guys just be done with it and buy a pocketbook? You know you want one.

I forgot they are European carry-alls.

i've never really seen it as a crime if they're not allowed to cross the line. it's more performance art than anything else.
