If your leather jacket is torn, you can easily fix it by using a repair kit. The process is fairly simple and will require only a few minutes of your time. However, if you're not familiar with patching or sewing, this might seem like an overwhelming task. Don't worry! We've got all the information you need below:
In order to fix torn men’s or women’s leather jackets, you need to apply glue on the tear and spread it evenly. Use a small brush or cloth to wipe away any excess glue after applying it so that there is no residue left over.
When you apply the patch, make sure that it is completely dry. This will take about 24 hours and if you are using a heat gun or iron, let them cool for 30 minutes before removing the glue. If you are using a hair dryer on low heat and keeping your fingers away from what is being heated (in case there's any fire), then you can wait until five minutes have passed before taking off the patch again.
If you want to paint or stain the patched area, then that's fine! You can use the same color as your jacket and it will look good. If you have other men’s leather jackets that match the original one, then that works too! You can also choose a contrasting color if you'd like.
If there are patches on both sides of your jacket (for example), then it's best not to use an entirely different color for each patch; instead, use two different shades of one color so they're more subtle than intense and bold at once.
When you patch torn leather jackets, use a quality repair kit and allow it time to dry completely before using it again. A high-quality kit will have a higher success rate than an inferior one.
You can speed up the drying process by blowing warm air onto your patch until it’s fully dry. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight while doing this as well!
Well, that's it! We hope you've found this helpful. While we can't guarantee a perfect patch job, we definitely know how important it is to have your leather jacket looking as good as new. So if you ever run into problems like this in the future, remember to use a quality repair kit and allow it time to dry completely before using it again.
