Not sure this is the right sub-forum, definitely more on the"fixin" side of things...
I have a couple of rapha long sleeve pro team jerseys that are very old and I've had great use out of that fit me very well. Much better than the latest pro team jersey I bought from them last summer. They're in pretty good condition apart from some of the seams at the front of the jersey are starting to come undone. I know that rapha do a repair service, but one of these is probably about 7 years old, so I feel that asking them to repair for free would be taking the Mickey. However, I would like to prolong the life of them if possible.
I'm struggling to know what this type of seam is even called to Google repair techniques and materials. They're folded over and then bonded somehow, and it's the bonding that is coming undone. I had assumed it was called a bonded seam, but nope, it seems that's a very different thing on a rain proof garment.
Anyone able to offer any advice on how I could get this fixed, or fix myself? Potentially a question for someone like @Chopsicle?
