Hello! ....flip, I can't believe that was nearly 5 years ago. Wow.
If the patches are looking tired, running an iron over them, should remelt the adhesive. Just follow these instructions, make sure you have the tea-towel in between!

Albion... I really like the look of their clothing but it's never at a price point for me. The only Albion kit I own is a under helmet cap, and it's my favourite one (slightly longer, better contoured peak -doesn't make you look like a man-child like normal ones do).
As for repairs, a few years back I came off my bike on the Lea Bridge Road bike lane after a car pulled out, another cyclist slammed their breaks and I clipped their shoulder and got some cool air time. My beloved Endura kevlar stitched commuter bottoms had finally ripped at the knees. Albion and Raeburn were doing a cycling clothes repair shop that weekend so I went over.
That really nice long-haired fellow who I think works at both showed us how to repair with Sugru, and fixed up my garms with some Albion and Raeburn branded (logos, mascots) iron-on patches. I still have some and still use them, though I'm not sure the adhesive will hold up for much longer as it's been a few years.
