My jeans have a similar repair, but in this case (and almost always) I get darning without any patch. I also have overstitched the middle seam to reinforce but in my case the darning was done because some fabric itself was starting to fray. It's been holding quite well as a repair now with another two month of bicycling on it. -
I was able to get 2"/5cm shrinkage in the waist and 1/2 to 1" in all other measurements on a pair of W36 220A. I soaked in extremely hot (seemed like it was almost boiling) water for an hour, occasionally agitating by hand. Then a hot machine wash and electric dryer. This process caused the patch to lose a lot of ink, but the leather remains in decent shape. If that's something that would bother you, be careful. Even after all the shrinkage, the 220A will continue to have an unusually high rise compared to the rest of the measurements. Not necessarily bad, just different. The denim is really cool though and I would embrace any marbling - it suits them. -
