Stupid me tripped today… tearing my jeans and making a tear in my fairly new leather jacket (very soft leather)
there’s a small patch of the outer “skin” of the jack that’s torn away from the back part.
Anyone know of a way to repair it?
Thanks…
I remember several years ago seeing TV ads for a product that supposedly fixed tears in vinyl, leather and similar surfaces. I don’t remember the name of it now, though, and I’m not sure if it actually worked as pictured. They would show a tear in a vinyl car seat, for example, and they’d spread some sort of goo over the tear and lay some sort of little pad on it. When you took the pad away, the tear was gone – as if by magic! Anybody else remember this stuff?
I seriously doubt it worked as well as the ad proclaimed, but that’s the only time I’ve ever seen vinyl and leather repaired without stitches of some sort.
** wooba, ** I just had to take my son’s soft leather jacket in to be cleaned and they caught a tear near the pocket that I hadn’t seen. The cleaning is going to cost $35 and for an extra ten dollars, they’ll fix the tear.
If you haven’t yet cleaned your jacket, CALL first, you have to find a dry cleaners that does leather, I found out the hard way, they aren’t that plentiful, and this is Atlanta, so I was pretty surprised.
Good luck!
Since all the commercials that Discovery Wings, Discovery Science, and Discovery People, are for these types of products, I now consider myself the infomercial KING. Just check out my NADS thread earlier. 
Anyway, what you need to do is apply and let dry.
But at 14+ dollars you might just want your dry cleaners to do it for $10.
