This is the best jacket I have, custom tailored to my awkward body. Went to a wedding the other day and was playing around with sparklers and I notice that there is a small burn mark, is this repairable or am I going to have just deal with it.

Pics attached.

Matching dye might be one way (although probably not practical).

Other way is take to reweaver whom will dethread that area and sew in new thread. Might leave a small scar but a good reweaver could make it barely noticable.

+1 with what Klobber stated. Luckily, the affected area isn't too large.

This is going to sound crazy . . . but if it was me, I would try a laundry marker in that color.
