Turnout bags and firehouse gear take serious abuse — most of what fails is a repair, not a replacement-budget problem.
Torn turnout gear bags, blown seams, worn straps and buckles — firehouse gear repair is commercial account work, built around department schedules rather than one-off drop-ins. Send a photo, real quote inside 24 hours.
Patched or rebuilt panel-by-panel on the same heavy-duty machine used for every canvas and webbing job in the shop.
Worn straps and hardware replaced so gear bags hold up to daily station use.
Reinforced at stress points so the repair outlasts the original stitching.
Whole-station orders handled on a schedule that works around shift rotations.
Text a photo of the damage — I can usually tell what’s involved from that alone.
I’ll come back with an honest number and a turnaround date. No estimate fee.

I’ll work with whatever hardware and webbing specs your department requires — bring the details or the damaged piece and I’ll tell you what’s realistic.
No minimum beyond the standard $25 shop minimum per job — single bags and full fleets both get handled.
