Paul LashtonPremium HAT Repair Patches Kit Strips Crown & Brim Reinforce with Adhesive Backing

I broke the golden rule and grabbed my $200 Akubra rabbit felt hat by the crown so the hole at the point is on me. After hearing the doom and gloom from all the forums about the fools' errand of attempting to fix the hole/crack in felt I took a chance. Wasn't expecting too much as this product was originally intended for a straw hat. HOWEVER I was very pleasantly suprised. it arrested the hole and is holding form. Really satisfied, this repair patch us great.But DON'T be like me. Remember folks to only grab your hat by the brim and always leave it upside down as to not alter the shape!!I hope this helpsBest wishes

I used these to repair an emerging crack and give a little bit more structure to a rather expensive hat from Lock & Co (London Hatters). I have to say, these are fantastic. They stick really nicely, giving structure and holding down the crack. You can't see them from the outside. The glue is good stuff. And the material appears to be quality. I did an extensive search before finding these and highly recommend them. Thank you!

I was at first concerned the patch had to be the same exact shade as my hat; it did not. The patch is extremely easy to use; peel off the backing and apply. I'd recommend a test placement prior to peeling off the backing as the adhesive is very strong. My hat had a break / tear at the peak. This patch is designed to fit right into that difficult angle. Once applied the patch pulls the two edges of the torn area together and the tear disappears - that's how tight this patch holds. The tear has virtually disappeared and the patch will act as a reinforcement on this part of my hat which takes the most bending / flexing. Thank you for making the perfect patch for straw hats.

Colors aren’t matched perfectly but very close

Much too expensive for a simple piece of weave with glue...hard to find right color. Not even needed if the tear in hat is found early and repaired with a white piece of fabric plus white glue...or clear silicone caulking. I was trying to repair a large tear so product was more useful..but not correct color. I needed natural panama color.

This patch was easy to place. It has a strong adhesive and the color matched perfectly. It holds nicely.

My son has his grandfathers old straw hat and it started getting some holes in it. I used these patches to fix the holes so that they wouldn't get any bigger. From the outside, you can't even tell there are patches on it. I do wish the patches came in other sizes and shapes as the holes weren't just on the crown. I just cut the patches to fit my needs though.

This was simple to apply and it works,saved my $75 stetson being relegated to wear in garden only!
