Contact the manufacturer they will likely do it for cheap.

Manufacturer is Samas in Italy. I cannot find any contact details for USA. Would appreciate any help. Jacket was purchased overseas.

Check with a place like REI or your local gear shop. I bet they have a list of folks who do that kind of work.

Thanks for the tip to contact REI. They put me onto a website called "www.rainypass.com" which specialises in outdoor repairs for everything from ski jackets to tents. The company is based in Seattle, so it is a few weeks to turn the job around. The jacket is on its way, I will report back on the results.
