Hi guys,
Winter is not only beautiful snowy landscapes, cozily sipping wine by the fireplace and fun. Yesterday I took a nosedive when my bicycle violently slid from underneath me on a sneakily frozen road. I can tell you, when falling with a bike, you fall a long way and asphalt is tough stuff. I was wearing my new ELC B10, and it took a pretty beating too, the most damage being done to the pocket as you see here.
Apart from a few bruises, a painful knee and a slightly sprained wrist (I was wearing my GS ELC A10, which saved my hands from roadrash) I am alright.
Now to the question: any ideas as to how to repair this? Something similar must have happened to the original jackets too: anybody seen any period repairs on cloth jackets, that I can take a lead from?
Of course I can always contact ELC about fixing it, maybe with an entirely new pocket, but that's the expensive route.
