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!
Did you ever get around to repairing this? I've been lurking this community and now I keep getting invested in months-old posts ๐
I........ Did not. Lol
I definitely meant to, but got overwhelmed trying to decide the best way forward. The threads are so small, and woven into the lower layer of material. None of the guides show exactly what I've got.
Then I decided I was just gonna try to lock the ends down so they can't keep pulling, and call it good, even though it'll look ugly. Maybe sew a patch over it afterwards? Or darn it? Or sew a design into it? IDK.
I tucked it away to worry about later lol, probably when camping season starts again.
In the meantime, I did contact the manufacturer, smartwool, and they sent me a gift card for the value of the item, so that's nice.
