I had it pulled back in a French twist with way too many messy Bobby pins, but it stayed in place so I added a couple of gray statement Bobby pins to disguise it a bit. Still figuring out the long-for-me hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2092142 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 21:50:47 +0000 Tina 2092142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great save!

No wonder you missed it so much.</p> <p>I am frankly amazed by how well the leather repair kit worked! I'll have to keep this in mind too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091784 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 15:07:00 +0000 Joyce B 2091784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great repair, glad you can enjoy your jacket again.<br /> That is a good share to keep. Maybe it can also repair scuffed shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091775 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 13:08:31 +0000 Carla 2091775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Kari. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091773 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 12:47:24 +0000 nemosmom 2091773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done!

Almost invisible- I can really only see it because I know where to look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091771 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 11:55:46 +0000 April 2091771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! </p> <p>Sometimes cobblers can work magic on leather as well - or book restorers, but those are a bit harder to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091770 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 11:39:12 +0000 Style Fan 2091770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!&nbsp; I will have to remember this.&nbsp; Such a gorgeous jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091764 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 10:14:52 +0000 Synne 2091764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent work! Great idea to mend and repair. If only I could mend the crappy fraying fabric on my brand new hounds tooth trousers... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091747 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 07:46:18 +0000 Kari 2091747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very. Sustainable living and making an irreplaceable piece (I’ve stalked EBay and other resale sites, only seen the jacket once and not in my size, and the brand is no longer made, and it’s an unusual cut) wearable again after being orphaned by accident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091742 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 07:10:35 +0000 rachylou 2091742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s darn amazing! And might I add, a win for sustainable living... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091740 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 06:49:27 +0000 Gigi 2091740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent work! I couldn't see the tear in the pics until the last one, where you made it more visible. Like you said, it just looks like a wrinkle. The color match was spot-on. I'm excited that you get to wear it again. Woohoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-repair#post-2091739 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 06:42:16 +0000 Kari 2091739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember this disaster? <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-leather-tears" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ther-tears</a></p> <p>The jacket has been sitting around all sad since then, but after my BIL had good results with a similar tear in his leather jacket from a repair kit, I ordered one myself (Coconix: <a href="https://coconix.com/pages/leather-and-vinyl-repair" rel="nofollow">https://coconix.com/pages/leather-and-vinyl-repair</a> )</p> <p>And... I think it worked! It’s not 100% invisible, but after drying, I got a decent color match and it looks like a wrinkle instead. </p> <p>It’s just above the elbow.</p> <p>I’m thrilled to have this beautiful piece back in rotation. </p>
