A tear in any material of jacket is possible to fix with the right techniques. The easiest tears to repair are smaller tears, less than 3 inches in length. It is possible to repair larger tears, but they will still be visible to the naked eye after repairing. Always use the correct repair method for your coat’s material and take your time. The best repairs are created with patience.

Leather Coat

Clean about 1 inch of leather surrounding the tear with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth.

Cut the leather repair cloth to a size one inch larger than the tear on all sides. Cut a rounded shape to prevent peeling. Slide the repair cloth beneath the tear with tweezers. Glue the patch to the leather with the enclosed glue.

Apply the leather filler to the tear between the leather patch and the original leather. Fill the tear until the filler sits at the same level as the rest of the leather. Use a leather grain patch to add texture to the filler and to match the rest of the leather grain. Allow the filler to dry for one hour.

Sponge on a leather dye to match the color of the filler to the original leather color. Allow the color to dry for one hour, then condition the entire area with leather conditioner.

Nylon Coat

Trim away any excess threads from the tear.

Pull the two sides of the tear together. Place a round patch of clear duct tape over the front of the tear.

Apply a coat of seam grip sealant over the back side of the tear. Allow the glue to dry for 24 hours.

Remove the tape from the front of the coat. The tear is now patched and will not open again on its own.

Fabric Coat

Trim any loose ends of fabric from the tear.

Pull the two sides of the tear together.

Hi, Back again, this is the set of build along pics for this little project, It really is a very simple project for anyone of any skill level even a first timer. This was designed and produced as was the Pattern, By ‘Dark Horse’ Workshop’ they make great patterns for decent prices and are very helpful. Why not go check them out and watch a few of their vids on YT, then purchase the pattern for this very easy to make...’No stitching involved’ ( doesn’t get easier than that ) project, find the matching video tutorial and have fun with this amazing little project, Here I show myself building the ‘Basic’ project and then I add a few of my own ideas just to make it ‘more me’. and you can do the same. This shouldn’t take more than a few hours  unless you need to dye the leather as I did and then also add time for the threading the leather lace.

Pic 1...is the finished project with a laced edge flap, a loop with a Sam Brown stud fastener for added security, don’t want your bits and pieces slipping out now do we and a Celtic style Concho for added effect. I have to say, I’ve been using this pouch for a week now and even when full it is comfortable to have on my belt. A nice size.

Pic 2...showing the back of this pouch, I decided to Jazz it up a bit, instead of the usual basic piece of leather for a belt strap I did this, and I think it adds strength and looks pretty darned cool too. The doubled up rivet idea came about because on a previous project I had a rivet come off ( go figure ) so from now on I put two whenever I can...also looks good too though.

Pic 3...So, before we get on, here is the finished pouch that I use now on a daily basis. Thank you to dark Horse Workshop for this design, hope I can send some eager new makers your way.

Pic 4...Here is the Notice you will get explaining the Copy right side of things and also the pattern.

This will not be a long drawn out build along as the nature of it is just so simple. print and cut out the pattern, sticking together the necessary pieces.

All the sections are now stuck together making the complete pattern.

copy the pattern onto your leather.

Using a sharp knife and maybe these little cut out sections I bought on Amazon, they come in a box of lots of different shapes and sizes...you will quickly have it done.

Leather all cut out. If dying ...now is the time to do it.

The tuxedo is a stylish suit worn by men. Its look has not changed much over the years but still manages to look classy. A tuxedo is used for weddings, parties or even just for a romantic evening. Some gentlemen choose to use suspenders or braces for more support or even a more fashionable add-on. There are a few different kinds of suspenders for the tuxedo, each with its own charm and contribution.

Pick out your suspenders. The number one thing to keep in mind when choosing suspenders is comfort. Make sure they fit reasonably well. Suspenders are adjustable, but it would be a better idea to make sure you buy the right size and length for your body.

Examine the suspenders to verify what kind they are. They may either be fastened to the belt with a waistband clip, or they may have holes in the ends. If there are holes in the ends, these are to be fastened onto the pants. The pants come pre-equipped with buttons just for this purpose.

Fasten the suspenders either by clip or button. Adjust them to the correct length, so the pants are high on the waist but are comfortable and do not rest too high or low. The pants should not be worn any lower than 2 inches below the belly button or any higher than the belly button.

Check that the suspenders are not too tight on the shoulders. If they are, loosen them to the correct length.

Carrying out shoe leather repair is a lot more economical than simply throwing cracked shoes away or buying a new pair. Repairing cracks in leather shoes is a simple, inexpensive, and fun way to extend the life of your shoes. Prevention is often the better cure and regular polishing or buffing will help minimize the chances of cracks ever occurring in leather shoes. If cracks have already appeared, follow these easy shoe leather repair steps and you will soon be stepping out with confidence.

1. Use Saddle Soap

One useful tip in repairing leather shoes is to wash them with saddle soap first. Saddle soap can be bought from most equestrian stores. Rub the soap generously into the cracks while using as little water as possible. Shoe leather repairs work best when the shoes are as dry as possible.

2. Avoid Heat and Air Dry

Avoid applying heat to dry a shoe quickly because the cracks will become more severe. Place the leather shoes outside, free from any direct sunlight and rain, and allow them to dry with natural air.

3. Stuff the Shoe to Maintain its Shape

Leather shoes that are often cleaned and repaired have a tendency to lose their shape. This can be easily avoided by stuffing old rags or newspaper into the shoe while you perform the repair.

4. Use Mink Oil

Applying mink oil to the cracks that have appeared in the leather will penetrate deep into the crevices and rehydrate the dry leather. Although people tend to be unaware of using mink oil when repairing leather shoes, it is an effective way to give some much needed moisture back to crevices and cracks. Always let the shoes dry before applying the shoe cream.

5. Make Sure to Have a Proper Color Match

One useful tip is to take the shoes to a shoe or hardware store that sells leather shoe cream. This way you will be able to determine a good color match. Once you have found an appropriate color, apply the shoe cream generously to the leather, paying particular attention to the cracks and crevices.

6. Equal Buffing

Having oddly matched shoes is not the desired outcome of anyone performing a shoe leather repair job. Polishing and then buffing a shoe for a longer period or with greater pressure than the other shoe will result in one shoe being a lot shinier than the other. To avoid this mismatch, time how long you buff the first shoe. Usually, three to four minutes is an adequate amount of time to spend polishing a shoe. Repeat it on the other foot and check colors against each other. You may need to buff up one of the shoes a little more to get a perfect matching pair.

Leather seats are the cherry on top of a luxury car sundae, but without proper maintenance, they can be downright gross. Because leather is a natural material it is subject to fading and cracking because of heat and UV rays. Practicing routine maintenance will extend the life of your leather and keep your car looking factory new!

THE DEEP CLEAN

STEP 1: VACUUM

Begin by vacuuming up any loose debris and dirt. If it’s been a while between cleanings your seats will have certainly picked up some unwelcome travelers, and trying to clean the seats without removing them will just rub them around.

STEP 2: APPLY LEATHER CLEANER

Spray your preferred leather cleaner onto the surface of the seat and use a soft bristled brush to gently agitate any problem areas. The most common spots are the creases and places where skin or hair routinely comes into contact with the leather.

STEP 3: WIPE DRY

Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to wipe away any excess moisture. The seats will remain somewhat damp to the touch unless they have been coated.

Allow 1-24 hours for the seats to dry depending on your climate

CONDITIONING YOUR LEATHER SEATS

STEP 4: APPLY LEATHER CONDITIONER

Apply your preferred leather conditioner generously and evenly. Avoid letting it pool up in a single area to make sure you have even coverage. A good leather conditioner will keep the leather moist which prevents cracking, while also providing UV protection to maintain the color.

After application, allow 4-6 hours for the seats to absorb the conditioner.

STEP 5: WIPE DRY

Using a clean, dry microfiber towel wipe off any excess conditioner and then wipe fully dry.

Spending a few minutes to complete this routine every 3-6 months will ensure that your seats outlast the car they’re riding in!
