Take out your favorite leather jacket, only to find a mysterious cut on it, not knowing how it got there? Seeing a glaring cut severely affects its aesthetic, and the cut might even get bigger over time. Should you buy a new one? That would mean living on a budget for several more months. Is there a way to repair the leather jacket? Yes, exactly. Today, we’ll teach you how to repair cracked leather jacket. Let’s take a look together.
I. How to Repair Cracked Leather: Two Effective Methods
Method 1: Egg White Repair
Tools: One egg, one toothpick
Steps:
First break the egg and take some egg white, then use a toothpick to apply the egg white to the cracked area. Be careful when applying, otherwise it will affect the result.
When the egg white is about to dry, gently press the damaged area to make the two sides of the crack stick tightly together.
After the egg white on the damaged area is completely dry, wipe the surface of the leather coat clean. At this time, observe the damaged area. Although there will be marks, they will not be obvious and will not affect the overall beauty of the leather coat.
Method 2: Pain Relief Patch & Glue Repair
Tools: Pain cream, tweezers, 502 glue
Steps:
Cut a small piece of pain cream, just as big as the broken part.
Peel off the sticker underneath the pain-relief patch, then carefully apply it to the broken skin area using tweezers.
Gently apply glue to the other side of the pain-relief patch, then cover the broken skin. Once it dries, it will be invisible.
Note: If the entire piece of leather has come off or the break is large, the above method is not suitable, but you can buy a LOGO patch to cover it. Additionally, Taobao sells “leather repair glue,” and using a bottle can achieve better results for repairing leather jackets!
II. How to Repair Cracked Leather: Fixing Peeling Issues
Tool: Black peeling spray, tissues.
Steps:
First, observe the peeling areas and scrape off any parts that haven’t peeled cleanly.
Spray the scraped areas with black peeling spray and quickly wipe off any part that gets sprayed onto other areas with tissues.
Once the sprayed areas have dried, they will look just like the unpeeled areas!
【Editor’s Note】 While these DIY methods can help with minor damage, it’s best to consult or take the leather jacket directly to a professional leather care service for major repairs and maintenance.
