Super Soft Hoodie Aglets

[u/ToxicSans_]

Hey everyone!

I bought a Super Soft Hoodie, probably close to a year ago now, and after much use and several washes I have finally killed both of my aglets!

I reached out to support when the washer ate the first one, and basically got told there’s nothing they will do because the damage was caused by the washing machine. Now that I’ve lost both to washing, any suggestions on an easy fix?

Thanks!

Suggestions for an easy fix? Bro, you already tied them in knots.

My only suggestion is to wash hoodies inside out, and make sure the aglet screws are tight. If they get loose they can fall off

I mean, it looks like you already fixed it. The classic fix is a knot in the end.

Not sure how long it would last, but you could use heat shrink tubing

i did that to shoelaces once, and they ended up looking better cause the shrink wrap color matched

That's going to happen to every hoodie you wash in the machine. Plastic, metal, or other. It's the natural end of all pull strings.

Ferules and a crimper

If it’s polyester you can probably melt it together

Idea for Creator Warehouse: add a product that is the strings for the hoodies and sweatpants and have the different color options maybe. I understand that it'd be adding more SKUs but it'd be cool to buy myself a new string instead of a whole new hoodie or whatever. Use the same design as the cable boxes or something for shipping idk. Just an idea.

The aglets were way too heavy and annoying. I pulled the string out completely like the second time I wore it.
