I have a brown leather chair that has about a 2 inch rip in the leather where you sit. Are there any special patches or other ways to repair this so it doesn't get bigger and begin losing it's insides?

If you would just like to secure the damage so it doesn't get any worse, you can by a patch kit on Ebay. The patch goes underneath the rip or tear so its simple to apply and there is no need to colour.

If you would like an invisible repair you need to contact a leather specialist.
