I have an older (C1996) and much beloved Selle Italia Turbomatic II saddle. Recently, I have worn through the leather cover along the flank of the saddle where my inner thigh rubs the saddle while pedaling.
Since the saddle is in otherwise excellent condition, I am looking for recommendations on materials to patch the small hole (approx. 1 cm x 0.5 cm) in the saddle. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Instead of patching the hole, consider replacing the entire cover. This approach gets around the problem of seam or stitch rub against your leg. Try an auto or motorcycle seat reupholstering shop.
