Putting a patch on a down jacket is a simple process, especially with the right materials, and is more effective for smaller rips and tears. Here's how:
- Choose the right patch: The bigger the hole, the bigger the patch needed. Down jacket repair patches are readily available and are designed to be adhesive and durable.
- Prepare the area: Clean the area around the tear on the jacket.
- Push the down back in: Gently push any exposed down feathers back inside the jacket.
- Bring the edges together: Try to align the edges of the tear as closely as possible.
- Apply the patch: Peel the backing off the patch and carefully apply it over the tear, ensuring it covers the entire damaged area. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion.
