Ok so i've finally got round to washing my down jacket, its turned out great, and is a lot cheaper doing myself than taking it to the dry cleaners!

The problem i have is that i have a small tear in the outer material on sleeve at the elbow. It has slowly spat it's down filling out, and is now empty.

So my question is can i refill it myself?
How is this best done?
How should i repair the (3cm)tear/hole?

Thank you in advance




In reply to Zoro:

Get some new down; sacrifice a small down-filled item to do so (or maybe a small, down-covered item... <quack>). Stuff it into the hole in the outer (toilet roll inner is one way of stuffing with little mess).

Then close hole with spinnaker tape.
