I need to repair the suspender button on a pair of Warrior Franchise. any hints?

Your LHS should have some, and be able to install. You could also try something like this- but I would try to put a larger rubber washer in the back to prevent pull through.

I'm in Atlanta and there's only one LHS left unfortunately. I'll ask them if they can handle it but if not I'll try the method in the video. thanks for the link!

I don't what the extent of the damage done to your pants but maybe this would work ? With a big washer in between maybe ?

Im in the process of buying a pair of apx pants. I just saw there is no suspender buttons on those. I called my local shoemaker and he said they are not able to put suspender buttons on all pants. Since those pants are high end im assuming they are well padded and its going to be hatd to put buttons. Any ideas if what i can do? Don t want to buy them and be stuck with those. I saw the first video and i think it could work but the pin on the button dosent seem long enough to go tru the pants all the way.

I actually used a jean repair kit fix mine last year.  It come with a short perforated nail that I put through the fabric loop on my pants and then used a hammer to gently put the button on.  I got the kit of 3 replacement buttons from Walmart I believe.  Its still holding up well and was really cheap to fix compared to getting it professionally done.  I thought for $3, I figured I'd give it a try.

Almost every LHS can rivet a new button on your pants in a matter of seconds, I've had a few done over the years as they get corroded and bust off over time. Cost is mere change basically.
