It's cheap, it's compact, and it might save your favorite shirt or pants. What's not to like?

At the end of the day, every item you wear is ultimately a wear item. As we've learned recently, supply chains are fragile like a delicate Roman vase, and such luxuries are not to be taken for granted. As such, simply replacing your gear might not always be an option.

Enter the humble, timeless sewing kit. It's an incredibly overlooked essential that's left out of everything from survivalist bugout bags to your mum's cabinet nowadays.

Maintaining your kit on a thread-by-thread basis is just as important as doing preventative maintenance on your car — a frayed or loose thread here and there can turn into a bigger problem if you shrug it off for too long. 

The Forze Armate sewing kit will cover all of your basic needs for repairing small tears, buttons, and a few other odds and ends as well. It makes for a great match with combat attire and other militaria, but the sky's the limit with a needle and thread.
