Jacket pockets are important because that is where we keep our belongings much of the time. However, they get holes in them sometimes or totally ripped out. This can lead to loss of property or inability to hold what we need on your person. If this has happened to you, follow our guide to repair your garment.
This guide will help you save money so you don't have to get someone to fix your jacket and you don't have to throw it out simply because it has a rip. In our step-by-step guide, there are instructions on how to create and replace a jacket pocket for your leather jacket.
