My Carradice saddlebag has quite a few minor holes in it from near daily use over 12 years, what sort of thread should I use use to repair it?They are too small to repair with the glue and cottonduck repair kit that Carradice offer.
Ideally it would match the faded green colour of the bag 😀
Just send it to Carradice - they are very helpful and happy to repair and prolong the life of old stuff.
