Self-Adhesive Premium Leather Repair Patch. Navy Leather 8in x 4in (20 x 10 cm). Instant Upholstery Quality Repair Patch for Sofas, Car Interiors, Bags, Vinyl & More

Way overpriced at $17 for on 4x8" patch. Color match is uncertain from the product photos. So why 5 stars....the patch works extremely well. I have a 10 year old dark brown leather sofa with several worn spots, one on each arm, a couple on the seat. These had evolved into ragged holes about the size of a quarter with foam backing exposed. Looking through the repair options I decided to order these patches despite the difficulty of determining the actual color and effectiveness of the patch. The AZ reviews were far better than the other choices. The order arrived and the first surprise: The patches were darker brown than they appeared on the Amazon site and they were a very good match to the color of my sofa. The final appearance when installed integrated well with the background leather of the couch and the patches weren't noticeable to the casual observer. Only close inspection would one realize the arms were patched. I am very happy with the results and feel much better about the exorbitant cost. A few notes on installation: Install these carefully. The glue backing is extremely good, once in place you won't move them without tearing the leather. A couple reviews indicated that they didn't stick well. I can only surmise that the user did not properly clean the leather surface (removing any oils and/or leather treatment on it). Do not remove all the backing paper before installing the patch. Here's the trick: 1. Peel back about one inch at one end and fold that one inch of paper back against the patch. 2. Carefully stick that one exposed inch of glue to the proper spot. That will fix the position of the patch. 3. Reach under the patch, grab the end of the peeled backing and slowly peel it down the rest of the way while using your other hand to smooth the patch in place.

I purchased this to patch up the driver's seat in my 04 accord, where I have two small tears that have developed recently. No matter how well leather is conditioned, eventually stuff just gets old. That's life. I looked up various methods of leather repair, but most of them seemed to require more effort than I was willing to give and/or didn't seem like they would stand the test of time. After reading the great reviews on these patches, I figured this was my best solution. ***PROS*** -Easy to use. Peel and stick. Simple as that. -Quality feel. I'm not sure if it rivals the "finest Italian leathers," as they claim, but it's certainly comfortable material that has a leathery feel to it. -Durable. I haven't had mine on for years, but many reviewers have. Mine has held up to me getting in and out of my car dozens of times without showing any sign of breaking down. I wouldn't be surprised if the patches outlast my car. ***CONS*** -A little pricey. The price isn't awful, but it was $20 when I bought it. Most alternative repair kits are in the $10-$15 range. To me, it was worth it to not have to put any real effort into patching my seat, but a good leather repair kit would have resulted in a more aesthetically pleasing patch for less money (but more time). -Options are limited. Black or brown, plain leather. That's it. My Honda's black leather is perforated, which is a very popular patter for leather. Given the makeup of this patch, I can understand that a perforated version would be more difficult to manufacture, but it would have been nice to have a patch that looked more like my real leather. -Difficult to apply to curved surfaces smoothly. It's not unmanageable, but if you mess up on your first application, don't expect to be able to peel it off and try again to get a crease out. -I wish they had more usable patch sizes. 8"x4" might work for some applications, but most tears start small. I needed a 2"x2" patch and a 1"x2" patch for my seat. This patch is easy enough to cut with a razor, but if I could have purchased a set of six 2"x2" patches instead of one 8"x4" patch, I would have preferred the smaller patches. I know that technically MastaPlasta sells smaller patches, but at the moment you can buy this 8"x4" (32 square inches) patch for $17.80 or a 2" diameter (6.28 square inches) patch for $14.95. $0.56/square inch vs $2.38/square inch. There is also a 4"x2.4" patch for $15.95 ($1.66/square inch). The smaller patches cost 3-5 times more per square inch, which is unreasonable, in my opinion. ***OVERALL*** If you don't mind a leather fix that is going to stick out a little bit both physically and aesthetically, I would recommend this patch over leather repair. It's extremely simple to apply, very durable, and quite comfortable. The complaints I listed above are minor and would not stop me from buying the product again or recommending it to anyone in need of leather repair.

I really like the product. I have a couple of Herman Miller Aeron chairs and on my older one, the leather on the arm rests just started cracking. This chair sees daily use on weekdays (home office) and I actively use my arm rests throughout the day. I found these when I broke down and started looking at replacement parts. For my needs, these worked great. They provided the right size of coverage over the cracked area and cover a majority of the arm rest and they went on easily. Happy camper with initial results and all worked well. Fast forward to a year later. The adhesive underneath is a lot like duct tape. After a year of grind, the adhesive is starting to wear. These are starting to slide from their original position and exposing the tacky surface below. They are also starting to peel at the edges. I have a feeling that these would last longer on a different type of surface that did not see the amount of use and friction that my arm rests do. The net is that one year out I am looking to replace these as I am getting tired of putting my arm down in the sticky stuff and having these sliding around. Debating whether I just use these again or bite the bullet and replace the arm rests at this time.

We bought a leather couch that supposedly was leather in all of the "touch areas"... Welp, apparently they don't account for people touching the console area... Ours started to lift in a small area (about 1in x 1/2in) and then flaked off.. I was livid as the couch was not cheap. I looked for solutions due to the unique color of the couch, I wanted some to match. I am so thankful I found this product. It was the correct size and thickness needed to completely cover the area and the immediate surrounding areas, I feel confident it is protecting the area from further damage. Navy was a little darker than our "Chicago blue" couch, but honestly it is so close I don't care. Patch was super easy to apply. I did cut it to curve with the console/ ensure coverage where needed -- it is holding up fine and I plan to purchase more if needed in the future. Excellent product and quality!

I washed the area well where I was going to stick it, let it dry completely, then wiped it very well with rubbing alcohol. This patch is VERY sticky so know exactly where you want it because it will NOT come off easily to reposition. It has been on the seat of my couch for over a month and is sat on by me, other people and my dogs. It has not budged or peeled off in any way thus far. I like how it molded to the shape of the seam I put it on (LEATHER sofa from Raymour&Flanigan the leather was tearing away from the seam, which they refused to repair/replace- Dont buy leather from them!!). You can deffinately tell there is a patch there as the outline shows and it has a bit of a different finish than the leather, but is much better to look at instead of a damaged seam! I would give this 4 stars, but the price is rediculous honestly. It does not get 5 stars IMO because there IS room for improvment in design. I do not care for the faux stitch print embossed into the patch which makes it more noticable. UPDATE 8/2015- This patch is STILL holding strong with dogs and daily use. I will need to buy more because the leather is of suck low quality. I think this patch will outlast the entire couch itself!

We needed to patch a couple of damaged spots on a leather sofa. Wasn't sure what product to use, so I ordered a couple of different things to see what matched best. This product was a perfect match. Great product with the look of leather. Easy to apply. Durable. There are so many color options for this product that it can be used to repair many pieces of furniture or other leather products. I highly recommend MastaPlasta. Will buy again! Update- I did buy again. The sofa now needed a patch due to bonded leather peeling. If only the sofa and recliners had been made of this stuff in the first place we wouldn't be patching. This stuff is amazing!

This product is a bit pricey, but it works amazingly well. I've been fortunate that the available colors include one that 98% matches my leather chair, and one patch is now over a year old. It has held up perfectly in a heavy-use area of the seat cushion, with not even a faint sign of creeping, or bleeding adhesive around the edges. The second patch is a small one to cover a worn & torn spot where my elbow digs into the arm of the chair thousands of times. The smaller patch has a depressed rim, which I suppose does make it blend in a bit better, but the larger patches do not. Perhaps they figure we're likely to cut up large patches to fit, while small ones will probably be used as is. I haven't tried any of the competing products, but these work so well that I'm reluctant to experiment -- I can't really think of a way that another patch could work better. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the product itself, is that it was surprisingly difficult to find this size patch in this color, and without any decorative embossing. It would be much easier if Mastaplasta Ltd could provide the "color" and "size" multiple choice feature that so many other products have on Amazon. It took me half a dozen searches before I deduced the exact key words that took me to the color and size I needed.

MASTAPLASTA peel and stick repair patch for holes, rips and stains in car seats, sofas, bags and leather jackets. 8 inches by 4 inches PLAIN STRIP DESIGN/BLACK My perforated leather car seat has finally torn through after years of abuse from my ridiculously trendy jeans accented with sharp protruding button studs along the butt. You may still be able to find a few pairs left at my nearest Salvation Army. I'll have it re-upholstered soonish but needed a non-embarrassing solution for the moment. Nuttin' fancy, just quality-made. I've never seen a discrete leather patch nor a patch that wasn't lifting at the edges and covered in lint. Thankfully, Amazon's Highest Rated Products sorting led me to this. The reviews left me confident that the high price is worth it but of course there were the usual low ratings indicating the edges are lifting. I took precautions and found that Barge turpentine glue was THE product for this application. After prepping the area by toothbrushing with and hot water/soap and thoroughly drying, I smoothed over a super thin layer and applied. The rubber-like vinyl material gives it a bit of grip; however, the more my butt slides around on it, the easier it's becoming to slide my butt into the seat. I was initially scared that the patch would surely tear off from my weight sliding in and out day in and day out, but it actually looks totally fine. It's holding up awesome. Depending on the quote to re-upholster, I may just get another patch to stick on the perfectly fine passenger seat just to give it some symmetry. Despite my satisfaction with how well it's glued in place (preventing further tearing, there's a reason why a star is missing. I didn't notice any special tips in the reviews or instructions since it's a simple adhesive-backed patch and thus, I applied. Maybe it's because my leather is really thick, but I am left with a noticeable indentation along the tear area. By the time I noticed, it was a little late to stretch the patch as I applied.
