Hoodie strings go through a lot of wear and tear since they tend to fly all over the place. Use a shoelace (or two) to replace the old string with a fun, new color or two. Just tie the shoelace to the end of your old hoodie string and pull the old string thorugh until it is fully out and the new lace is all the way around.
