How to repair burn in lovely gilet ?

morganlefay

Happy New year everyone !
I have a lovely Lands End gilet - warm, cosy down in a nylon outer shell. I caught it on the iron yesterday and now have two tiny slits in the front bit where the poppers are. It is now gently leaking white fluffy down and I'd really like to repair (just to stop it leaking) it but don't know how. Can anyone suggest anything ? It wasn't cheap and I expect to have it for years to come (hopefully) !

Hi, that's a shame - how about contacting Lands End customer services for their advice? They may even be able to send you a patch of material to put inside a repair

That's a great idea maybe attach a photo to your email and add it to the thread too as it will help us be able to give you the best advice just incase lands end don't come up trumps.

Cut a nice shape from contrasting material and sew it over the burn....applique it. lots of ideas on the web

Thank you all so much - I knew someone on here would come up with a good idea - I'll try Landsend first, that never occurred to me :beer:

I believe all Lands End clothes have a lifetime guarantee and that they will replace them for any reason at any time. I had a pair of wellies that started leaking and they gave me a new set no questions asked. Obviously if you can avoid wasting the jacket then avoiding the landfill is great.
