Interesting, my down jacket is losing it's Velcro-ability and I couldn't be happier about it. I'd replace with almost anything else as Velcro fucks up my wool sweaters.

I'm happy to replace it really.
It's annoying as it is because I can't close the cuffs properly with it as it is.
It doesn't seem to catch on anything I wear at the moment.
It's a German army jacket (I have two identical ones actually)
I've owned this one for half my life and it's a great feeling repairing it and keeping it going. -

This! Velcro kills merino quickly.

I'm interested in replacing some of the worn hook & loop fasteners on an old jacket of mine.
I've been looking on eBay.
Is it worth going for something branded as premium/higher quality? (Velcro obviously comes up a lot)
Edit: I'm also interested in some for a bag I'm repairing atm, which I imagine would be worth spending out a bit more for
