I have just done something very stupid, melted a 2" diameter hole in the arm of my (~3 month old) HG textile jacket on the exhaust whilst removing the rear valve cap at a petrol station :(

It's only gone through the outer nylon layer, the waterproof layer seems intact. Can HG supply patches that could be bonded on, or any kind of repair service? If not it'll be duct tape I suppose - thoroughly gutted atm :(

Try a yachty shop to see if they know anywhere. Yachty jackets are bound to need repairing from time to time, and need to be waterproof

You can get waterproof repair patches, I forget who makes them but I work in Blacks the outdoors store and we have a few for sale

Amanda runs the HG Bournemouth branch - I'm sure she'll know the answer.
