This is a lightweight wool shirt, smartwool brand. I think it's 90 or 100 percent wool, I forgot to photograph the tag.
I use it as a base layer while camping, so looks aren't that important, but I don't want it to fall apart.
I got a couple of snags on my last trip, and I poked most of them back in without issue, these two were bigger and I tried stretching the fabric slightly to pull them in. I did it gently, but they both broke ๐ซ
Should I use a patch? Or sew a few loose stitches to hold things together? Or just leave it alone?
The underside of the shirt is bright orange, the hole is only the top layer, if that makes sense?
Thanks!
I'd toss a few stitches in there to pull it back together as you say, except I would probably try to use as many stitches as I could in the space to more evenly distribute the force around the hole. I'm not very experienced at mending stuff though so if someone else comes in and says something else trust them instead.
I love to see people fixing cool stuff though so good luck with an easy and effective repair, my friend!
Thanks!
