I dunno, tape would just come off after a while...
If this was my coat, I'd probably darn that, as it'd give a longer-lasting repair. See if you can get some heavyweight upholstery type thread, as ordinary sewing thread won't hack it.

You can buy clear, reinforced tape a bit like gaffer tape but transparent. I think you can get it at B&Q, Homebase and so on. I bought some years ago to repair a torn kite. It was good stuff.

I've just had a delivery of these patches for my goretex jacket (I crashed and ripped the shoulder). Used them on tent material before but not clothing. They do a tape as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions
Hemming tape looks as if it needs 2 pieces of material.
The Gorrila tape and clear reinforced tape both seem a bit industrial.
Alpkit looks promising
And last but not least darning is a good idea, something I can’t do and won’t ask my wife at present as she is very stressed trying to get her mother into a care home. So many hoops to jump through; a request for darning will have severe consequences!
I will try the Zip Yard which close by.
It’s great to know that help is alway at hand at CC.

What is its name, they don’t have an online shop?
Update!
Zip Yard have completed a very neat repair. They unpicked the whole seam and re-sewed it slightly smaller/tighter and the worn sections are no more. A much simpler, neater repair than my “stick something over it” approach. And cheaper £9.50 for both sleeves and completed in less than a day.
