    Thanks dude! Just ironed 3 patches onto my riding jacket, high heat, bit o' steam and 90 seconds under a handkerchief worked out great! Greetings from Germany!

    I think the most important point is where you should put on patches and where to avoid, especially on a jacket since it has sleeve and your arm movement affects parts of the jacket to pull and crease, vest is so much easier since it has no sleeve. on a jacket I would only patch on the upper sleeve area since there is no twisting happening there, your lower arm has 2 bones that can twist, and the jacket should move along with it unhindered putting on thick patch will either hinder the movement or putting pressure to the jacket shell, on the body I think only the pectoral area is safe for patching on the front, and the whole back is pretty safe for patching , basically if you have a worn jacket with marks of its creases around articulation points, avoid putting on patches where there are creases forming or at least put on small oval or round patches if you must place it on such areas avoid patches with pointy corners.

    I believe it would, but you'll want to be very careful about heat on the poly/nylon material of flight jacket. A small hobby iron that can focus the heat to the patch (and only the patch) might be a good choice. Thanks for watching!

    I would guess it is not "breathing" through the areas covered by patches as the adhesive is plastic-like. It does remain water resistant however. This is my cold weather jacket, so I don't care. In rain I wear another waterproof layer over it. For hot weather I have a mesh jacket with no patches. Thanks for watching!

  • @UrbanMonkTV

    5 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for watching! I would guess iron on would be less effective at sticking to leather, but I don't see how sewing patches on leather would affect safety significantly. The "safety" of leather lies mainly in it's resistance to tearing, which I think added material of a patch would only help, and the fact that it "slides" on asphalt and pavement, thus reducing how much violent turning occurs in a slide. Essentially leather doesn't roll, it slides. I dont know how patches would affect this sliding property.

    LifeofAgnes Then you can follow the same procedure, just try to use a small iron as I have to avoid applying heat directly to the polyester as it will melt easy. Put the heat on the patch only. You may want to start at 30 seconds first. If that doesn't do it add 15 seconds until it's stuck. You can always add heat time, but you undo melting the polyester. You could also cut out a piece of cotton material to go around the patch to act as as barrier between your iron and the polyester. If you do that, you may be able to use a normal laundry iron. Hope that helps!

    I can't say for certain, but I don't think it would bond as well. It's the porosity of the material that the glue melts into, and most leathers aren't as porous fabrics. I may be proven wrong - I often am. Thanks for watching!
