i have a forest green pleather jacket that i absolutely love (it was given to me by the lesbian resident head of my dorm in my freshman year bc she was purging all non-black items from her wardrobe) but it was already a little damaged when i got it & since then the shoulder, upper arm & elbow have all developed extremely shredded patches, where the upper, green layer of the material peels off and the flaky black inner layer of pvc is visible, and i’m not sure what the best way is to deal with this

can i just sew patches over the affected areas or will i just be making new holes to allow more tearing? should i glue it or something? i’ll probably put patches on regardless if that’s at all feasible, i just also want the areas of damage to not get any bigger

cursory googling has not helped much but pls feel free to just point me to very obvious links or something

sometimes i feel bad that i spend most of my time at work alternating between working and fucking around, but in the last two workdays two different coworkers have just blatantly taken naps on their desks and sometimes people just don’t show up until 12 but still leave at 5, so like

it’s fine i guess
