About
What I make: We make self-adhesive repair patches for down jackets, sleeping bags, backpacks, tents and outdoor gear. The core range is ripstop nylon patches in 27 colours, sold as circular/oval patches, shaped kits (animal, nature, space, fruit, sea, spooky) and hexagonal patch sets in multiple colours. In addition, our range includes our Expedition Kit-in-a-Tin, which combines 10 circular patches with 1g of ethically sourced goose down and insertion tweezers for a complete repair and refill. We also sell 100% pure, ethically- and humanely-sourced goose down on its own, for topping up jackets and sleeping bags that have gone flat, plus pure soap flakes for washing down items safely.
Everything is designed and manufactured here in Bristol and we've been doing this since 2013, when a torn jacket and a roll of duct tape convinced us there had to be a better way to get our jacket back on the trail. There now is.
What makes my products special: Our patches are made of self-adhesive ripstop nylon, cut and finished so they sit low and stay put, no sewing, no ironing, no fuss. That matters because most people who tear a down jacket either can't sew or don't want a lumpy iron-on patch showing on an expensive coat.
The goose down is RDS and DOWNPASS certified, so anyone topping up a jacket knows exactly what they're putting back into their jacket has been ethically- and humanely-sourced.
Investing in one of our repair patch kits is part of our “WEAR – TEAR – REPAIR” philosophy. High-quality outdoor gear is a significant investment that deserves a second life. Instead of discarding a jacket due to a minor snag, repairing it helps you get the most out of your equipment for years to come, and by choosing to mend rather than replace, you significantly reduce your environmental footprint, contributing to a more sustainable community.
We're a small family business and we pride ourselves on providing the best customer support we can. We are proud of our products and care deeply about the service we provide.
