He's ripped the back of his bright green down jacket. Doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing if that makes any difference. I can't stitch it back together but I could stick a patch over it. It's about 4 cm long horizontal rip, between the shoulder blades. I can't match the colour so it would have to be a skull/Star Wars etc patch. He has rejected the ugly gecko and shaun the sheep which are all I have left from his toddler destruction phase.

He is 11, regularly wears the jacket to school and, size wise, it should last him next year too. He thinks I should buy him a new one Hmm

If he wants a new one he should pay for it.

You can buy tenacious tape online in loads of different colours and cut a patch to size. I’ve got loads of them on my down jacket.

Just a thought, but if it’s real down it’s probably not the best school jacket. They are pretty useless if you get them wet and they are a bit of a faff to wash.
