Repairing Patagonia Jacket with a Shaped Baffle

简介

This guide will show you how to patch a shaped baffle on your Nano Puff ® Jacket. The baffle we’ll be repairing in this guide is a rectangle, but the process is the same for any shape. In this guide we’ll show you how to patch the baffle without deconstructing the garment. This means that the repair stitching will show through on the jacket lining. If you’d rather not have the stitching visible, check out our Opening a Jacket Guide, and go through those steps first, before you follow the steps in this guide. (Opening the jacket makes this repair more difficult and time consuming). If you choose matching thread, your repair thread in the lining should hardly be noticible, but the choice is yours.
