I’m not a hugely experienced sewer but I’d think that doing some sort of patch on it might be the best way to prolong the life? Depends how prematurely they’re coming apart and how much wear they’ve had, of course. I like rapha cargo ones and have worn a few pairs until they’ve basically fallen apart. The other option might be to ask rapha themselves - I have a vague memory of them doing repairs but that might only be if you crash (or I might be mixing them up with another company, I know a few of them who do club kits who will repair for free following a crash).
Any thoughts on how to repair these Rapha bibs that are coming apart incredibly prematurely?
I was thinking of trying to pull the fabric away from the pad and zigzag stitch along, not sure if it will be possible without puckering the material or sewing through the pad.
