Flexible Repair for Everyday Wear

These black stretch patches are designed to give clothes repair patches a cleaner, more practical finish on flexible fabrics. They help restore damaged areas without making the garment feel stiff or bulky. Whether you are fixing a small tear, a worn spot, or a thin area that needs reinforcement, these patches offer dependable support. Their stretch-friendly design makes them a smart choice for activewear, casual clothing, and other garments that move with the body. The black color also helps create a discreet look that blends well with darker fabrics.

Simple to Use and Made to Last

When you need a fast and effective clothing fix, these clothes repair patches make the process easier. They are made for simple application and are suitable for both quick home repairs and longer-lasting mending. The strong material helps hold up through regular wear, making them a reliable option for daily use. Because they are built with stretch in mind, the patch moves naturally with the fabric instead of pulling or cracking. This makes them especially useful for garments that need comfort as well as durability. They are a practical solution for keeping favorite clothing in use longer.

A Smart Choice for Clean, Low-Profile Repairs

These stretch patches are ideal for anyone who wants clothes repair patches that are both functional and visually neat. The black finish helps reduce attention to the repair, which is important when you want clothing to look tidy after mending. They work well on areas that see frequent movement, offering a balance of flexibility and strength. This makes them a valuable addition to any repair kit at home, in a sewing space, or for emergency fixes on the go. If you want a dependable patch that supports fabric, protects against further damage, and keeps clothing wearable, this product is a strong choice.

Common questions

FabPatch is designed to last the life of the garment. The adhesive bonds directly to the fabric fibres and holds through normal wear and washing. Stretch is machine washable at up to 40°C. Allow 3 days before the first wash so the adhesive fully sets.
Denim, jersey, fleece, cotton, nylon and woven and stretch fabrics. So activewear, kids clothing, jeans, jackets, backpacks, and trainers. Works for both external visible repairs and discrete internal repairs. For wool and knitwear use the Merino range. For heavy outdoor gear, tents or raincoats use the Extreme range.
Yes. all patches can be cut to any shape or size with scissors, keeping a minimum dimension of 3cm for sufficient adhesive bonding. This makes one pack suitable for multiple repairs of different sizes.
Place a small piece of fabric, sandwiched between the patch and the garment repair or place a patch on the outside and one inside the fabric.
Stretch is water resistant — suited to general clothing, activewear, denim, and backpacks. Extreme is fully weatherproof — built for tents, boots, raincoats, and gear that gets heavily wet or takes hard wear. If in doubt: heavily wet or hard-wearing → Extreme. Everything else → Stretch.
Wait 3 days before the first wash as the adhesive needs time to fully set. Machine wash up to 40°C, no bleach or fabric softener. Safe to tumble dry and iron.
Yes. Stretch patches work well applied from the inside for a discrete repair. The material is soft enough to sit against skin comfortably.

Saved My Favourite!

Crashed my Vespa and put a hole in my very cool, VERY expensive, irreplaceable ski jacket.

Was ready to throw it out and cry.

Instead, used the waterproof version.

MIND-BLOWN. Its now been a year and have used rain and shine and absolutely perfect.

I think it actually makes the jacket look cooler too!

These are like patches from 100 years in the future. The adhesive is magical.

Great product. Only patch I've used on kids clothing that actually works. Well designed also.

Fave pants saved

I LOVE these pants. Well, they were once pants, and then after holes in the knees became shorts. Made from a soft but sturdy linen, I lived in them and cycled in them. Then the holes became too many, and they became my only-at-home pants. Now, maybe too little too late, I've given them hopefully a few more years with @fabpatch.au patches covering most of the holes. (The wear and tear over more than a decade was quite significant!). Wish I'd found the fabpatches sooner....

Fabulous!

So easy to use and the patch has extended the life of my partner's favourite Converse. This colour isn't available anymore so he is very happy he can keep wearing them for the next few years! Definitely recommend if you have shoes that need patching.

Repair Café best friend

I volunteer at a Repair Café and always have these on hand. They work brilliantly! We use them on many ‘difficult to fix’ repairs. Our visitors are always amazed/thrilled by the result.

Great + simple solution. I used the small patch (little disappointed there was only one small patch in kit) on my Patagonia down puffer jacket + it fixed the issue simple.

Hi Darren, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it. We wanted to mention that the medium and large size patches can be cut down to a smaller size, no smaller than 3cm, which gives great flexibility, we think. Thanks again FabPatch

A great solution to holes

These patches were a great solution to the holes in a pair of track pants. Easy to apply and stretchy :-)

Great product - easy to use and very effective

Great product - easy to use and very effective. I like that they're also easy to cut up to mend smaller holes and save the rest of the patch later.

This is a product that keeps what it promises

This is a product that keeps what it promises in the best possible way! Is so easy to apply and actually sticks to the fabric for good and not just temporarily. I fixed thick jeans, as well as thin t-shirt fabric with them, washed both multiple times meanwhile and they stick and stick and stick... Absolutely amazing!!

We have a dog who loves to scratch our bed sheets

We have a dog who loves to scratch our bed sheets. She has long nails naturally so they leave tears. The patches have been wonderful to repair the damage and have gone through the washing machine and the dryer very happily I’ve used them three times for this purpose and they haven’t failed. I do wait for several days to wash and dry them after application though. They give a flatter repair and less opportunity for her to scratch again.

Fabpatches are the best!

Fabpatches are the best! I first discovered them at a zero waste market and have since bought more for myself and given some to family too.
My husband has actually used them the most so far, as he has trouble with his pants wearing through and splitting down the middle. He's getting so much more life out of them now!!

Car sear cover

I patched a corner of a neoprene car seat cover. It attached very firmly.

1. Clear instructions
2. Arrived in perfect conditions
3. Successfully patched the holes and allowed the shoes to be used rather than dumped.
4. Durability cannot be determined yet.
5. I would have liked more flexibility in range of products offered in each package.

Brilliant solution

Love these patches! I’ve used them to patch up my sneakers which were really torn up from bush walks. Will really extend the life of my shoes. Love the banksia design - would love to be able to order this only or Banksia plus a blue colour patch. But am sure I’ll find a use for the black

Absolutely use this Product!

Fabpatch is easy to apply, and will give new life to old garments. I've used on this product on denim jeans, shorts and even some activewear. A fabulous, innovative, well designed and sustainable alternative to fast fashion and unnecessary landfill.

Fabulous product!

We have a young whippet who loves to chew stuff. Thank goodness for Fabpatch which we have used to repair a number of items- the upholstery on an armchair, a wheatbag and a dog coat. Quick, easy and strong.

really, really great

these patches are fantastic. I had two pair of black leggings that had started to wear through and I’ve patched both of them up with the Shadow Patches. Super easy to affix and they seem really robust, nor have they peeled up around the edges.
It’s great to find a company that’s committed to promoting repair and reuse in a time where fast fashion and consumerism are destroying the planet.

Absolutely love these patches have nearly purchased the whole range. I’m an active outdoor person & have used on tents, packs, & about to patch some hiking boots. Have also used on worn out cuffs of favourite jackets & mend hems on work pants. So easy to use & such an excellent product!

VeRy happy with the result

So glad I stumbled across this product. I don't have time to sew - and haven't picked up the skill as a full-time working mum of a toddler. Fab patch has already breathed live into 4 pieces of clothing in my toddlers wardrobe from from becoming irreparable, as well as repairing a whole in my runners!!

Very quick, simple and easy to use. I've bought 2 packs so they are ready to go. Will be recommending to family and friends!
