On the inner thighs of my suit trousers, the material has worn down, as I do a lot of walking with my work. Can this be repaired, either at home by me or professionally? They are 100% wool. I live in Bristol, England.

When my boys were little they used to wear out the knees of their trousers. i decided to fix iron on patches which were the same color or transparent onto the inside of the trousers behind the knee area and that was the end of my problems, so more wear and tear! I am not sure if you will get them in Bristol. I bought them in USA. A store that sells sewing extras would have it.

You'll never be able to repair them, but you can reduce futher wear by sewing in a silk linning down the inside of each leg, to the knee. You don't have to sew along the bottom edge unless you want to put your trousers on from the bottom first.

If the fabric is worn down to almost no material, there really isn't much you can do. I'm a seamstress and I think it would be easier to just purchase a new suit.

if you really like the suit the best way to save it is take it to a person that does reweaving this step is expensive, but if you are willing to pay the price it is worth it, ask the drycleaner you go to see if they can know anyone that does this kind of work.

How, precisely, did you imagine that they could be repaired? Good grief, just buy yourself a new suit.

Ask your local tailor. They could probably reinforce it.
