Frayed pocket maintenance and tinkering?

[Jamesh Bond]

Cheer up, Pilgrims. You salvation is here. And you can buy it at your local auto parts store or perhaps even WalMart.
The answer to the problem is a leather car chamois, the leather that you use for washing and drying expensive paint jobs. It's very thin, light weight, extremely durable, and water doesn't harm it.

Buy the cheapest one you can find, but be sure that it is 'real' chamois, not the synthetic ones. Then, just turn your pocket inside out, cut a patch to fit it, either sew it on or use a fabric glue to hold it in place, and fray no more forever. You may wish to extend a small bit over the edge of the pocket as well.

Nice.

That's similar to what I've seen on the Carhart stuff.

Thx.
