@Jonny69
Can anyone tell me what this type of garment repair is called? These are very old repairs which have been stitch-reinforced, presumably by hand. Front and back of the fabric shown in the pics.
I need to get a couple of similar repairs done, which look appropriate on a 45 year old garment. Is that something I can get done at a typical high street dry cleaners/repairs/alterations shop, or do I need to go somewhere more specialised than that?
