SimonJester753 Report post Posted November 10, 2010 I have a light weight black leather jacket. I snagged it on something and ended up with a tear near the hem. I took it to a place that does leather repair and they quoted me $175 to fix it. Since I only paid about $200 for the jacket I didn't think it was worth it. They said they'd have to take the lining out, glue a patch inside the ripped area and put the lining back in. I don't see why I couldn't put glue onto the inside of the jacket through the hole that's been ripped into it, then slide the patch into the hole and clamp it in place, all without removing and replacing the lining. I bought some scrap leather and Eco-Flo Tanners Bond leathercraft cement. Is this the right cement? It's water based. Should I use contact cement instead?

Luke Hatley Report post Posted November 10, 2010 You can do the repair yourself.... But use Barge or Masters Contac cement. I wouuld open the lining up some and apply the patch, sew the lining back up, weare the jacket and enjoy the $$$$$$$ that you saved.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
