Leather repair kit:

Important instructions:

Step 1. Use dirt remover to clean the surrounding area. Give it a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol. You can use air buds to apply alcohol.

Step 2. Glue the tear closed with leather/vinyl glue. Take help with tweezers.

Step 3. Use a palette knife to compress the area on which glue is applied. Keep it pressed for 30 seconds.

Step 4. Rub the patch with a high-grit sandpaper (220-grit sandpaper or higher).

Step 5. Apply the leather compound/filler with the help of tweezers.

Step 6. Let it dry for 24 hours. or Using the lowest heat setting, hold the blow dryer 6 inches (15 cm) away from the leather and heat the compound for 30-60 seconds

Step 7. Once the filler is dried rub it again with the sandpaper. Use smooth, circular motions to smooth out the filler. Keep going until the compound/filler flattens out and blends into the leather around the damaged area

Step 8. Now apply the leather dye. Make sure to choose a matching color. Test the dye color on an inconspicuous area of your jacket to confirm it's a good match before you use it on the exterior. Use 1-2 coats of leather dye.

Step 9. Cream or spray-on leather conditioner formula.

Step 10. Congratulations! You have successfully restored your leather jacket.

Your video is the best repair i have seen so far

[velvetpaws]

That was very interesting! I am wondering... how long will this repair last? Is it a permanent fix, really? I would imagine that placing a leather patch under the tear and gluing it to the tear on the inside might be a more sturdy fix? Thanks for giving me some feed back!

I have a black leather coat with almost the same tear. I’m going to give this a try 👍

[DrSwede]

I have a similar tear in the middle of my deer skin black leather duster. I love the coat it’s so soft but I think it’s softness that make it so hard to fix.
