While cigarette holes in wool can be a little more challenging to repair, you can do it with a little patience and the proper tools.
Things You Will Need
-
Vacuum up any loose charred material around the burn hole. This will clear the area so you have a clean surface with which to work.
-
Rub away any charred ends around the hole gently with fine sandpaper. This should leave you with just a clean hole to repair in the coat.
-
Shave off some extra fiber from an interior hem or seam in the coat with a sharp razor.
-
Arrange the shaved fibers into an appropriately sized and shaped plug for the hole in need of repair. Apply a small amount of fiber glue to the plug to bind it together.
-
Position the plug in the hole of the coat, and apply a small amount of fabric glue to the inside of the coat around the hole to bond the plug to the hole.
-
Use tweezers to arrange the fibers in the plug so that they blend with the surrounding fabric of the coat.
