Fixing a leather coat?

[beastboy]

Is it possible? I have a small tear in my brand new coat. Any way to fix it? My wife is pissed and said I am going to get bitch slapped.

Save me!

Tell her not to buy you such cheap ass leather next time

jk, those tear fixes never look right, there's always a "scar".

How did you tear it though?, I've got a really nice one thats been through hell and it just looks better and better.

I don't know what I did. I guess I'll have to break out the Elmers.

Over Christmas my brother in law's dog jmped up nd ripped a tear in my brand new Nicole Miller leather jacket. Needless to say I wanted t kill that damn dog. I brought it to the cleaners and they sent it to a eather repair. The fuckin thing looks great! The tear was about the size of a silver dollar, and all that's left is a very faint scar that you can't see from more than 5 feet away and even then you'd have to now where it is.


Try that. Good luck beast!

The other option is to look in the phone book for Leather clothing
or Leather/Shoe repair and it can be professionally repaired.

I had a Bomber jacket with a 1.5 inch tear done at a local leather
store and unless you know exactly where the tear was you can tell..

They match the color of the leather with a soft heated vinyl repair material similar to the above home kit...

I bet it's one of those 8-ball jackets. Those are pretty cool and they make people who wear em look tuff.

I wear one of the old Excelled biker jackets when I Bounce...I have torn it many, many times...I take it to a leather shop and they fix it every time...Small scars but it's still rocking......

Thanks broly's!!

What does a leather shop usually charge you for a fix?

NB, actually is the Michael Jackson leather with all of the zippers.

Generally around 5 to 15$....Not too expensive my man....
