How would you repair your Irvin or B3 ?????
Hello,
I just discovered a small rip on my ALC Irvin and wanted to know from the experts how to proceed with my fix. I was first thinking of stitches but then again it would be to visible.
The rip is close to the armpit (right side) but on the pieces connecting the body and the sleeve (sorry no pictures available at this moment).
I heard that some people use glue and I was wondering which method is the best.
If you get a really big rip/hole, would you cover it with leather and glue it or stitch it on?
If I want .....let say cover the stitches a bit.....would it be recommended to spray paint the spot of the stitches in similar color of the leather??
As you can see, I have allot of questions and thoughts and some might sound crazy but hey....I have never repaird such a jacket before.
