sigh so the sleeve on my RO classic biker jacket in lamb leather ripped... a triangular flap of leather now billows in the wind on the upper arm. I have no idea how it happened. It's nowhere near a seam, it's right on the outside of the sleeve. I'm just at a loss as to what to do with it now. I don't have any pictures of it at the minute. Any repair will be insanely visible and of course it won't match on the other side...some do it fast, some do it better in smaller amounts.

That's very helpful to know!! The lovely JurassicSnark has offered to help get it there when she's next inParis, sooner than I'll be - so that's an option! Otherwise I'm considering trying to either cover the rip with patches or some kind of creative embroidery?some do it fast, some do it better in smaller amounts.

I'm a bit skeptical that they'd be able to pull off any type of magic that a good tailor couldn't, especially if its a proper rip.
Leather tends to sometimes rip in a triangular shape. Hard to say without seeing, but maybe it would be good to patch it up properly if it's not possible to hide. How about a band shaped patch that goes around the sleeve (in similar leather) or just something completely different like an embroidery?
I've seen ripped leather glued etc with varying results but I imagine there is a good chance it will be noticable and might not hold."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.
