DESCRIPTION
With all the necessities for doing simple repairs out in the field, the Worn Wear™ Field Repair Kit is small enough to fit in a wallet yet capable enough to salvage that weekend trip from a singed sleeping bag or a torn jacket.
Sized as a slim, credit card-sized holder that tucks into a pocket or a wallet to keep repair possibilities close at hand. The kit includes two sewing needles, polyester thread and gear tape; and there's room to add a few more needles, safety pins, more tape or other items, depending on what you think you'll need to keep you moving. You can even wrap it with a rubber band to turn it into the ultimate trail wallet.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Repair: Fixing your gear is part of Patagonia's commitment to a new model for the production, consumption, and ownership of apparel - taking responsibility for their products for the whole of their lifecycle and allowing customers to join them in repairing and keeping it in use.
Recycled Polyester: Polyester is a naturally water-repellent material that can withstand the elements. Using polyester fibre made from mechanically recycled plastic bottles reduces CO2 emissions, and Patagonia are working toward eliminating all virgin polyester in their products by 2025.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
