Sadly my lovely base layer got a couple of smallish (sub 1/4") holes torn in it recently by a bramble.
I took it to a local place for repair, however wasn't particularly impressed by the options - which were basically:
- Stick a patch over the inside to prevent it getting worse
- If it got larger, create a fold over / around it and stitch it down
I expected them to darn these holes - is this not something anyone does any more? I appreciate that both of the above are probably preferable for a commercial repairer as they're likely quicker / require less skill.. but neither of the outcomes seems particularly appealing.
Almost tempted to have a go myself tbh..
