Description
This shirt repair kit keeps everything for a quick mend in a slim folding sleeve printed with a colourful world map. The cover shows the countries in bright yellow, green, pink and red on a soft blue sea, with the oceans named, "World Map" lettered across the top and a fine red border round the edge. Open it and the soft grey-green, star-patterned inside holds thread in blue, pink, black and white on a white winder, clear four-hole buttons, silver safety pins, a needle threader in red foil and a row of needles tucked into gold foil. Closed, it is 9.2cm long, 6.4cm wide and only 0.3cm thick.
At just 8g and perfectly flat, it slips into a wallet, a jacket pocket, a washbag or the zip pocket of a suitcase, and waits there until the moment it is needed. A shirt button that works loose before a meeting, a small tear on a weekend away or a dropped hem at the office can be put right in minutes, with white, black, blue and pink thread to suit plenty of everyday shirts. We like to keep one in a desk drawer at work and another in the glovebox, so a quick fix is never far away. The cheerful map cover makes it a small, useful gift that wraps up easily alongside a larger present.
The kit is made from metal, plastic and cotton thread, with the needles and threader held in their foil wraps and the safety pins and buttons set out beside the thread, so you can see everything at a glance. After a repair, fold the sleeve shut so the needles stay snug in their foil, and keep it somewhere dry so the printed cover stays crisp. Tuck one into a suitcase before your next trip and a missing button need never spoil a good shirt again.
