Pelle Patch - Leather & Vinyl Adhesive Repair Patch - 25 Colors Available - Original 11x16 - Off-White

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.

I really wanted this to work for me, but nope, it didn't.I had a couple not so big tears in my leather car seat from getting in and out for years. I ordered these patches, and the color and grain matched perfectly. I cut large sections so that the edges wouldn't be as likely to show, and also so that they went beyond the areas that get wear from getting in and out. I am an instruction follower, and let me tell you, nobody could have done a better job applying those patches. I was ridiculous about getting them on right. I measured, I smoothed, and my husband thought I was crazy for staying in my garage for a couple hours getting it just right. I even got a little Gorilla glue and put a bit around the very edges, just so it wouldn't have a chance to even start peeling.Well, you can look at my pictures to see what eventually happened. It looked really good at first and I was quite proud of myself. Then I started seeing an edge lifting up here and there, and I would just smooth it back down and pretend that everything was fine. Then one day, when I hadn't driven my car in a week or so, I went out and saw basically what the pictures show. I would say that the patches stayed on pretty much for about three or four months, as long as I was smoothing it a bit every day. By the way, it was during the summer, but my car stays in my garage, not out in the glue-melting sun. The white stuff you see in the pictures in the sticky backing from the patches. So not only does it come unstuck from your leather, but also from its own "leather". My car looked far better with the tears than like this, lol. Oh well, the search continues.I gave it two stars instead of one because the patches did match my leather so nicely, and also because maybe they do better on furniture than on car seats.

I have a wonderful 22 year old Lincoln Continental that has been a labor of love restoring since acquiring it at 88,000 miles. It now has 154,000 miles and the repairs have been slow and steady and averaged $171 per month over the last 7 years. Now that she is really shaping up I am noticing more of those little nagging repairs that I once ignored... like this arm rest repair that I am happy to report was EASILY handled by this product. I will go back to the smaller repair and remove the patch, cut off some of the damaged "X" shaped edges and fill with something like lambswool before cutting a new patch so that the rough edges don't press up.. This time I will also INCREASE the size of the patch since that larger repair on the driver's side door actually looks better when the patch is cut and shaped as seen in my picture. I only had two armrests to repair and still have more than half of the patch left. This was an easy repair and I highly recommend this product. (I'm already looking forward to getting my Forest Green patch to fix my favorite leather chair.) BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!!

As you can see from the first photo, our foot rest on the reclining part of the sofa is destroyed. These are Ashley furniture which I bought three years ago used on FB yard sale. When I got them the foot rests were in pretty good shape but they got some holes and then my toddler proceeded to pull off more of the material. Since I spent $500 for a sofa, love seat, corner piece and recliner I really didn’t want to spend a lot repairing them. I’m also aware that my kids are still little so I’m going to ride out this living room set until they’re bigger. My application was very quick and I really didn’t try to make it perfect. I was really just concerned with covering up the worn out piece so when you are looking at it you can’t immediately tell that it’s been covered. For $40 and less than 3 minutes putting this material on I am so very happy with the outcome. While the material is dull and the true material is shiny there is a difference but you really would have to study the couch to pay attention to it. This material is very durable, thick and will last for a long time. That’s all I really needed. You can see from the last picture that when you are standing a foot away that it’s no where near noticeable. I’m so glad I spent the money for this product!
