My tailor took the IJF instructions a bit too literally..

For context, I provided the pictures above to a new tailor shop because I was in a time crunch and thought that would be enough to explain what I wanted. I'm planning to go back on Monday to pick it up. How should I ask them to redo it? Or should I just ask them take it off so I can get it done at my usual place? I doubt they'll give a refund :,)

Taping for toes

Lots of discussion around here about finger taping, but I rarely see anyone talk about toe taping. For example, Joshiro Maruyama buddy-tapes his toes (here's an example).

Anyone know the analysis behind it? My assumption is it adds support when executing his uchimata, but I'm curious if there's more to it. Also, if there are other competitors with distinct taping methods that would be interesting to see too.

I've been getting bruised toes after competition and want to start taping as prevention. If anyone has resources, videos, or just knows a good method, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
