I have a Energie Kaelan sweater that I got a hole in.
http://www.stm56.com/product.php?product=7401
I don't really know how it happened, because I was drunk, but it's there.
Is there anyway to get this fixed? Probably not... Or atleast decently
Its not noticeable unless I lift my arm up, which could happen if Im dancing...

Should I try and get this fixed?
Wear it anyways?
Or suck it up and buy a new one?
I paid $180 cdn a little over a month ago for it, anyone know if I could find it cheaper?
I didnt buy it off the above site, but that is in euro's....

How big is the hole? It probably wouldn't be a difficult job for a reweaver depending on the size.

Its a decent size for a hole I guess.
If I lay it flat and measure from one side to the other, Its about 1 & 1/4 inch.

You should bring it into a tailor and have it sewn up. You wouldn't make the hole bigger or have it run.

well it seems like this is something that I should have sewn up.
Is this something that i can do myself?
I mean would a tailor do anything different than take thread and cover it?

Without seeing it (in person) there's really no way to tell you how to fix it. A good reweaver may either stitch the hole together, fill in the hole with yarn from another part of the sweater, or yarn from elsewhere, or even knit a whole section to cover it, depending on what happened and how much you want to spend.
