Assess the state of the drawcord - if it's damaged, stretched out, or missing entirely.

If original drawcord is present, take note of:

Design - How the drawcord is threaded into the garment (e.g. through hand pockets or a grosgrain loop)

Cord Lock - How the drawcord threads through the cord lock(s)

Other Pieces - If the drawcord is used with any additional hard trims like end caps or clear plastic discs

If the drawcord is missing entirely, please see Step 3.
