Good morning,
I own a navy Suitsupply suit jack which has developed what I believe is abrasion damage to the inside of the collar. It is typically not visible except at particular angles from the front. Unfortunately underneath the wool the material is white, so it is highly visible under the right circumstances. I'm also concerned that this damage will worsen over time due to tensile (pulling) stress at that location. The overall area of damage is smaller than a penny right now.
Here's a photo of said damage: https://goo.gl/photos/XMdmT6YbCuko5Q5w7
I'd rather not buy a new suit altogether if I can satisfactorily repair this damage. Since it's not "front and center," my standards for this repair aren't sky-high - I just want to cover the area missing wool and prevent future deterioration in this area.
Anyone have any experience or advice with this type of repair? I've requested an estimate from https://www.withoutatrace.com/ , waiting to hear back from them.
Please keep in mind I'm not looking for stylistic advice for or against Suitsupply wares, but merely repair advice for this particular suit jack.
Thank you very much!
Eric
