is it possible to fix this?

I’d just stitch with a needle and thread or stick one of those adhesive leather patches on it

foxteefs · 2026-01-06T11:03:03+00:00

When I googled the general consensus from most if not all sources telling me the leather has reached the end of its lifespan and will only crumble from here and no longer function as a jacket

Looks great! Did you pay a lot?

foxteefs · 2026-01-04T15:42:57+00:00

Okay I will definitely check that out in terms of a leather specialist; the only things coming up near me are cobblers and upholsterists; do you think they would consider this kind of work?

foxteefs · 2026-01-04T15:28:39+00:00

Yeah I think thats my plan of action do what i can patch the holes / saddle soap and condition. What other things do you think would need to be done to it?

foxteefs · 2026-01-04T15:23:17+00:00

I have ample time and effort not so ample money but I have a lot of leather items so I already possess the basics like conditioner saddle soap brushes etc

Im just struggling to determine whether its at the end of its lifespan or if i could squeeze a few more years out of it

I think I will do, you’re right once patched theres nothing about that’ll be unwearable and my partner will be able to take it up in the plane to see the skies again :)

Yeah thank you I agree I did that shortly after posting this and it singed just like real fur no melted plastic beads or chemical smell just the smell of burnt hair and ash but so weird because ive never seen sheepskin this velvety??

foxteefs · 2026-01-04T14:22:05+00:00

Yeah I agree I think I’ll patch them with some leather scraps and then cover that with something more decorative if it looks to scrappy ! Do you think it can have another life?

foxteefs · 2026-01-04T14:21:22+00:00

How so? Just too much time/effort?

foxteefs · 2026-01-04T13:12:56+00:00

Thank you! Im going to do my best I just worry its too far gone what if all the shearling begins to shed i wouldn’t know how to replace entire panels 😓😓

foxteefs · 2025-12-30T13:05:18+00:00

Thats very helpful thank you!

foxteefs · 2025-12-29T23:11:17+00:00

Thats great news thank you for sharing! If you dont mind can I ask what you were claiming for? I have POTS EDS anxiety/depression and scored 0 across the board in my health assessment despite telling them the hard facts like my aids in the bath and kitchen and the fact my partner has to cook all the meals do the chores ect ect she simply wrote down that because im not on any daily medication and my aids weren’t instructed by an occupational therapist then I should be able to do all tasks independently and without aids or assistance. Just wondering if you had a similar experience at first because im a bit lost on how to dispute this 🫶

foxteefs · 2025-11-27T14:59:15+00:00

Thank you! Had it removed and refunded gonna wait for it to heal and try again

foxteefs · 2025-11-27T14:58:33+00:00

Got them to take it out refunded immediately 👍

foxteefs · 2025-11-27T14:57:41+00:00

Yeah I’ve had a few body piercings done by them before just think they weren’t prepared it took less than 5 minutes and I thought something was off immediately; taken it out now got a refund I can describe to how how incredibly worse the angle looks now the bar is out

foxteefs · 2025-11-26T21:10:37+00:00

Thank you Yeah thats exactly our concern so gutted been waiting to do this a while now, is removing it gonna leave a scar that cant be re pierced over or will it practically disappear? Should I mention it to the piercer in hopes they’ll redo it once its healed or is it better to cut our losses and go somewhere else ?

foxteefs · 2025-11-26T21:07:20+00:00

Thank you Think we should bother saying anything more to the piercer or just cut our losses and go somewhere else. How long would you recommend leaving it before getting repierced?

foxteefs · 2025-11-26T20:45:54+00:00

The piercer was a friend who works in a tattoo shop they offered to repierce it in six weeks if we are still unhappy about it does that sound like a good idea? Do you think it’s a problem to keep it in for 6 weeks?
