Patch material for chainsaw trousers?

[jamallio96]

I've had my Oregon Waipoua trousers for about two and a half years now and obviously they have a few holes and rips; I've been okay with stitching and patching so far, but have run out of decent, tough material to patch them with. They came with a couple of sample bits of material but I've used it all up, and was wondering what all you guys use to patch up trousers - preferably it would be a similar material to the cut resistant Kevlar reinforced stuff on the knees. Any help and pointers would be much appreciated!

 

P.S. I know that a lot of people will say to just buy another pair then use the current ones as patch material for the new ones when necessary, but I don't like waste and these ones still have plenty of life left in them! :-P

Have you tried asking the dealer you got it from if they sell repair patches?  I know Pfanner do patches or at least used to, perhaps Oregon do also.

I used to make patches from the ripped and knackered previous pair .

Good idea, I'll send them an email :-)

That would be the plan, but this is the first and as yet only pair :-P

Just pinch them together and stitch it. Worked well for me. I thought it would just tear again immediately but it has lasted surprisingly well

The iron on pfanner patches are brilliant. (If these work on Oregon?) You put them between the Kevlar and inside of the trouser and hold hot iron on for 20 seconds. It welds together. I don't have to sweet talk my wife to sow anymore.....just ask politely to borrow her iron ?
