Repairing a Waterproof Jacket
Hi everyone,
I have a waterproof jacket that I’ve had for a few years, but the glue on the cuffs and neck tab has started to come undone from the waterproof lining. I’ve read that it can be an easy fix, but I want to avoid making a mistake that could ruin the jacket. I found some online services, but the shipping costs are pretty steep.
Does anyone have recommendations for local places where I can drop off my jacket for repair? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi there!
It sounds like you’ve got a beloved waterproof jacket that needs some TLC! If you’re looking for local options, I’d recommend checking out outdoor gear shops or specialty clothing repair places in your area, as they often have experience with waterproof gear. You could also look into local tailor shops; many have the skills to repair jackets and may even offer waterproofing services.
Another option might be to reach out to outdoor enthusiasts in local forums or groups on social media; they might have recommendations for reliable repair services.
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, you could also try DIY repair with waterproof adhesive specifically designed for fabric and outdoor gear. Just make sure to follow the instructions closely.
Good luck, and I hope your jacket is back in action soon!
