Thanks for all the previous answers to the 'how to wash my down jacket' question.. a wool wash and tumble dry with a tennis ball and some shaking worked a treat...
But before I give my 'down and out' style Alpkit jacket a good disinfection/washing, I need to do something more permanent about the two bits of finger tape that stop the down escaping in two places.. I've done some research, and found this seamgrip repair shizzle, and know that iron on patches exist.. but was wondering if anyone here had any success with patching their down with something more permanent than tape... (thankfully the jacket is black)
