If the hole/tear is smaller than a 50c piece we repair the garment with a permanent heat applied patch. If the damage is larger than a 50c piece we can replace the damaged panel with colour matching or closest colour matching fabric. Replacing the panel is as close to an as new repair we can offer. If we have an exact match in fabric the repair will not be invisible.
