[@830jps]

Thank you so much - i managed to use what you showed and fixed my jacket sleeve that was ripped by the cat, there was actually a piece ripped out.

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Hi that's great I'm glad we were able to help you...

[@lynndebeal6126]

Thank you very much from Seattle Washington USA.

[@stevens6654]

Nice tutorial... But don't you have to sew up the lining after you've used the seam ripper?

[@forreal245]

Of course, you do.

[@pauletyang972]

Thanks lots- I'm convinced this will work for my jacket. Will try out ASAP

What sort of glue is that? I have a 24 year old leather jacket that has been with me half my life that I can not find anyone willing to repair it. so now I am hunting how to do so myself. I think scars and frankinstine stitches would look pic. the collar has cracked the elbow was worn through. the seams in both arms are unraveling. It is in critical condition and I need to act quickly if there is any chance of it surviving the heat of Florida.

[@LeatherRepairUK]

It’s a specific waterbased leather glue that’s made for this type of repairs for leather only

[@LeatherRepairUK]

We only have one product on the Web site for tear repairs I will get you a link

[@lisathao5550]

What kind of backing fabric do you use? Or does the backing fabric come with the repair kit?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Lisa Thao Hi yes the backing fabric comes with the kit

[@drunkmonk3229]

Very helpful video. Could I use normal pva glue aswell??

[@LeatherRepairUK]

It is possible but you will find the area will go harder than the standard soft finish leather glue, that's the only issue

[@luvmydave]

I have a 3-4 year old leather jacket and the collar has dozens of cracks all of a sudden. I've been ignorant of preventative care prior to this. Is it fixable? I can't find any answers anywhere

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Yes this can be fixed or replaced email [e-mail]

Will this glue work for a Lambskin soft leather?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Futureone hi thanks for the post, yes as the leather jacket is a lamb skin also

[@darktoadone5068]

Can this be done on the back of a leather jacket? I would have to cut the linen on the inside of the jacket to access the tear.

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Hello Yes you can do this on any part of a leather jacket You dont always have to open the lining

Damn my $800 black Avirex Leather Jacket got a mad hole tear in it from baseball bat fight and hoping this will work

[@AminAlam-zl4dw]

Very nice

[@Jade_Id]

this may be a stupid question but would this work with a synthetic leather jacket? the reason i ask is my jacket has a bunch of fibers sticking out inside the tear on the edges of the faux leather where it tore. the tear is much larger than an inch and is shaped more like a "C". any tips to make this process go as smoothly and done as best as possible. this jacket has a lot of sentimental value and your help would be much appreciated.

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Hi yes the leather glue can be used in this type of jacket materials

[@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG]

Thanks good info! I got an unexpected 1/2 inch tear in my shearling leather jacket which I wore out just once 😕 It closes nicely but the Wool is on the inside. Is a patch used ? Or can I just use leather glue only to seal it at the seam and hope for the best ?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Hello no slightly different approach can you send an email with pictures to us and we can then see what’s best in your situation It will involve shaving a tiny amount of wool from around the tear to do this and then when fixed glue the wool back in place to hide the patch you’ve put in Send to [e-mail]

[@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG]

@@LeatherRepairUK Thank you! That method crossed my mind and I think you've explained it to me sufficiently and I understand what you mean. I just got the leather glue from amazon and I'm gunna give it a self attempt based on the procedure of your video and your comments. 👍🙏

[@thomasbgage]

My rips are more towards the shoulder of the leather jacket, and its in a somewhat tough place to get to. Do you still recommend taking out the inside stitching of the jacket to get to it? Ive seen another method of just placing a pin through the subpatch and into something like that block and then feeding the subpatch into the jacket through the rip hole. Also, does it matter what material the subpatch is? What glue would you recommend? Thanks for your help.

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Notorious TBG Thanks for the message you can do this in several ways, backing fabric can be leather or polly cotton. If it's very difficult to get into then using a block from behind to get a flat surface is always good, feed in the sub patch and then apply the pin then start gluing one side at a time, once the one side is glued you can remove the pin at this time, www.leatherrepaircompany.com/shop/leather-glue-repair-kit/

[@thomasbgage]

Thanks LRC, placing my order with you guys as I dont trust other glues. Any coupon codes to apply for US-based customers?

[@alextarnavsky8368]

What about re-sewing the lining?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Yes that can be done by hand with a slip stitch or in a machine if you have one

[@hanliefx]

What can I use to make my leather jacket not squeak so much anymore? Everybody tells me to just wear it (which I have for 8 years) and it's not getting any better. I cannot move in the office or theatre without making a noise. This was a high end very expensive jacket from Superdry so I'm assuming it's good leather. Is there any way I can soften it with one of your products?

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Hello leather jackets don’t squeak, is it a genuine leather item ?

[@hanliefx]

@@LeatherRepairUK Yeah it's definitely genuine leather. I'm a leather worker myself so I have no doubt. The squeak happens in the seems where the top sides are stitched together. Squeak might be the wrong choice of word to use, it makes a sound every time I move and it's an annoying sound not like rubbing but more like it's sticky.

[@nicoleguise6936]

Good evening I just noticed a tear in my beautiful navy patent leather jacket today. I am going to order the repair kit tonight. Do you have any additiinal tips for patent leather? Is it still okay to us the heated dryer? Thanks a lot for your video. I feared my jacket was permanently destroyed. Nicole

[@LeatherRepairUK]

Nicole Guise i would just let it dry naturally and don’t get any glue on the top of the leather

[@mohammadkarimsaleh840]

Thanks for good job and scharing

[@jb888888888]

Perhaps a minor quibble but the repair isn't "complete." You still would have to re-sew the lining seam.

[@marysinclair1917]

hi, sorry I don't know your first name. Please could you tell me what glue you used and what type of backing fabric you used, will fabric glue do which I have as I use it in my sewing. My partner thinks I should be sewing it but it proved too hard to get the needle through the leather.

Mary Sinclair we provide everything in the leather glue kits we supply online it’s a leather glue and fabric backing

[@redroostermcmlxxl]

Nice tutorial mate, but that's experience for ya, left to me I'd almost certainly need a new lining, and more than likely a new sleeve, i think I'll send mine off to an expert for repair.

You would be amazed how you could achieve fantastic results

[@redroostermcmlxxl]

@@LeatherRepairUK If i had a jacket that i wasn't too bothered about, I'd give it a go, something to practice on, but i have an old Irvin jacket, more commonly known as a bomber jacket, would this technique you use still apply? It has a fluffy lining you see. Thanks for the reply.

Ive got a tear on the back of the neck area of my 70's motorcycle cafe jacket. I think it was caused from being hung up on a coat hook for too long.
