Pelle Patch - Leather Car Seat Repair Kit - 25 Colors Available - Original 11x16 - Off-White

I am very satisfied with this repair product, close color match for our dark blue leather sofa with no loss of color on edging, nice feel and good adhesive properties. Because the vinyl was cracking between the leather seats and the limited access, I had to start on one end and gradually remove the backing paper as I applied the patch to the area. The task was easier to restore the appearance of the sofa than I originally thought it would be. Certainly worth the cost.

The color was nearly perfect...just a variation difference of the same shade of green. The application was easy. I used another piece on the undamaged left arm so that it looked like part of the stitched arm covering design. It looks flawless. Great product.Update: The arm repair to our chair has not stood up well. The leather is too thick to be flexible and the constant movement of the elbow and hand has caused it to come apart. May be excellent in other applications but do not try to use it on the arm rest of an Ekornes, Stressless Recliner (Consol model). This was very carefully applied by a meticulous artisan and it just wasn't the answer.

I've got an old leather sectional. I love the thing. It wasn't all that expensive and the leather has begun to break down after a decade of me parking my ass on it every night after work. I have one spot where I sit and noticed recently that a hole had formed right where I lean on it with an elbow. Yeah, a little weird. So I looked on Amazon on my phone while I was out doing something else. I had some downtime so why not make use of it. I came across Pelle Patch's product, read the reviews and decided I'd try it out. Can't hurt, right? Picking the color was a bit of a pain in the butt. I was away from home and the options were odd toned. But when I got the patch in the mail, way more than I needed, it matched perfectly. Scary. Then I cut out the appropriate size and voila. It stuck. The repair patch has an industrial adhesive and is probably the next best thing to getting an upholsterer to tear it apart and sew something together. But it's not impervious to wear. My patch is sliding downward ever so slightly because, like I said, that's where I park my substantially large frame every night. But it's kept the dogs from tearing out the stuffing and it looks very good. My wife didn't even notice.

Update: Lowered to 3 stars. After 1.5 months, for the two places I used the Pelle patches on the sidearm, both patches are curling up and coming off suggesting not very good adhesive and durability. In fairness though, both patch locations are in awkward places on the side arm and that may have contributed to it. At some point I may try again with the MastaPlasta instead (which so far is holding great on the back).Original review:Extremely easy to use. It is not as thick as the MastaPlasta patches (which probably offer better longterm durability), however its lower profile/sleekness makes it blend in more easily and not seem as awkward. I actually had ordered both the MastaPlasta and this patch because I didn't know which would be best or the right color for my chair. I decided to use them both. In the before-after pictures below, the large main holes on the back were patched with the MastaPlasta and the ones on the side arm were patched with this Pelle Patch. Both came out alright but the Pelle Patch ones like I said are smoother and have a better fit. While they worked well for the side arm, I'm not sure I would have wanted to use the Pelle Patch on the large holes on the back because it is seemingly not as durable as the MastaPlasta and since that is a spot that's likely to have a lot of wear, I'm not sure the Pelle Patch would hold up as well for that. Then again, I really don't know and for all I know the MastaPlasta won't hold up long term either - time will tell. One other difference between the two brands: the MastaPlasta already has rounded corners so you don't have to cut as much. Since I used the entire MastaPlasta sheet for the chair back, this meant that I didn't need to cut any corners at all for it and could just apply it, whereas with this Pelle Patch I would have had to round the corners myself (which is extremely easy to do of course but perhaps not quite as professional looking as pre-cut corners). In the final analysis, I believe both patch brands seem to have their place and which one is "best" probably depends on the specific application. But don't be afraid to give this Pelle Patch a try.

It might be user error but this patch did not hold up well. I used it to repair a hole in my car console. It held up for a month. Thankfully it was a decent sized patch do easy enough to fix it again. Same thing. I bought a console replacement cover for 18 bucks that worked so much better. Wish I would’ve skipped this and just bought that one. I guess it depends on your application and needs but for others with a ripped console check out your options before buying this.

One of my dogs chewed the top/back part of a short boot and I used this to patch it and it worked perfectly. You cannot even notice it when I have them on. The texture matched the finished grain of the boots very closely and it was rigid enough to replace the 2" on the top edge of the boot that was totally chewed off in the shaped of a wide "u" (I folded the patch over itself around the top edge of the boot and about 3" down the back of the boot, it is completely adhesed to the leather and to itself, there is no way it is coming apart and it is thick enough that when folded in on itself it is pretty stiff). I can imagine this would work very well for any grained, finished leather (what I mean by finished is that wouldn't match nubuck or aniline). LOVE IT and it saved my $350 boots! Just love when something actually works!
