Introduction
This guide will show you how to fix the missing stitching on your Nano Puff ® Jacket. If you simply have a loose loop of thread, see our Repairing a Loop of Loose Stitching in a Patagonia Nano Puff ® Jacket. In this guide, we’ll show you how to patch the baffle without deconstructing the garment. This means that the repair stitching will show through on the jacket lining. If you’d rather not have the stitching visible, check out our Opening a Jacket Guide, and go through those steps first, before you follow the steps in this guide. Opening the jacket makes this repair more difficult and time consuming. If you choose matching thread, your repair thread in the lining should hardly be noticible, but the choice is yours.
