Patching a hole in a down gilet

What's the easiest way to patch a hole in a down gilet? It looks as if it's been done before but the patch has come off.

I want something that's minimal effort. I don't care what it looks like as I'll only be wearing it around the house.

You can buy self-adhering patch material on Amazon - search for puffs jacket repair fabric. It comes in lots of different colours. A very easy repair!

Great, thanks. That sounds like just what I'm after.

I would cut a small patch, push through the hole and just sew around the edge, iron on patches often fall off later. So long as the stitches are close, the down won't come through.

I have a small round stick on patch on my green down jacket. It's from Amazon, was cheap and is working fine.

Another vote for the down jacket repair patches. Super easy and they worked on my comforter too.

If it’s made by Rab they also do a repair and cleaning service.
