I've had a pair of Levi Jeans for a couple years and they've finally started to fall apart. I've somehow managed to rip a giant hole in the back above both pockets, and I can't really wear them anymore because of it.

How should I go about repairing them?

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 07:40:29 -0700

While hiking in Costa Rica past week, wearing my Patagonia down jacket, I got about two inch tear on the jacket near the shoulder by a thorn. The jacket is only a month old. Is there any fix I can do that will preserve the aesthetics?

Thanks a bunch.

Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket: Can you replace a zipper on a nano jacket?

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 13:02:13 -0700

The zipper pull and the box at that is at the end of the zipper is gone. If we send in the coat, do you repair the zipper or does it need to be taken to a local shop for replacement?

If you can repair it, what is the cost?

Clothing: Any tips for preventing stiff clothes when drying outdoors?

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 07:02:51 -0700

When it's 100 degrees outside I just could no longer put my clothes in an electric dryer so I got a clothes line. Only problem seems to be that they are stiff when dried and the towels are scratchy (like a cheap motel). I am using the same Tide detergent and Downey fabric treatment like always. What do I need to change?

Justification for why this is repair-related:

Drying clothes outside reduces wear on them, make them last longer.
I think this goes with the spirit of the site in green energy use.

Patagonia Outerwear: Old rain jacket delamination

Wed, 05 May 2021 20:44:41 -0700

Hi,

I have an older (6 years?) rain jacket that is starting to delaminate. The seams are still sealed, but the white, water repellent coating on the inside of the jacket is starting to peel off the outer. Do you have any suggestions to combat this?

Thanks!

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: How do I get my fleece to stop shedding?

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 10:54:05 -0700

My fleece has been washed a few times but still sheds little (pink) bits on everything. I wore it under a different coat and found pink fleece bits all over the other coat. At first I thought it would just stop after washing but sadly it didn't. If anyone has any insight I would be so grateful! Thanks! -kate

Patagonia Bottoms: Best way to replace the elastic waistband in Patagonia Baggies shorts?

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 12:11:20 -0700

I have a pair of green Patagonia baggies that are about 10 years old — they’re super comfy, totally functional, and still look fantastic. Unfortunately, the elastic waistband is completely shot, so the drawstring is the only thing keeping them up. I’m not ready to retire them yet, so is it possible to replace the elastic in that waistband?
