An easy and effective repair solution that does something you don't get with a thread and needle: weatherproofing and smooth looks!
When your trusty outdoor jacket or pair of pants develops a worn spot or an actual hole, you really don't want new ones, but the damage bothers you. These Vaatelaastari (Finnish for "Garment Plasters") adhesive patches are an easy solution: press and rub for a secure fix.
The patches are suitable for most fabrics, and this isn't just resuscitation for a chronic problem. The patches are elastic, smooth, and weatherproof, ensuring functionality for many more adventures to come.
That's not all: the patched garment can be washed at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and tumble-dried. Various fabric treatments and laundry chemicals e.g. softeners may reduce wash resistance.
The package contains a set of five patches in three different sizes as follows:
