Leather repair for big tear

Hey guys. I have family that just gave me a top of the line 1999 crown Vic LX. Big culture shock from what i have now but enjoying the new found respect I am getting from EVERYONE on the road who think I am a narc. Lol. O yes the do. Anyway she has about 5 cows in her and is beautiful except for one huge spot. Drivers side seat. I just couldn't stand the seat cover and the other 41/2 cows are fine. I would ask the crown Vic club but it's pretty sad over there so I'll ask here where I know someone will help. Everything I see on the net is all about fixing small holes and I just don't think that's gonna get it. It doesn't have to be perfect just wanna stop the bleeding and put leather condition on her because other than that she is beautiful. Any body know sum n please help all ears.

There are companies here that can repair any leather seats to look good as new.
In Mississippi, I don't know.
I use Leather Honey on my gslse seats. It is amazing.
I also use Meguires Show Car Glaze on old paint. Works wonders on oxidized paint. Don't have to machine buff it or kill yourself using it by hand.

My bad man. I ddnt let ya know it has a rip on the drivers side about 9 inches long and about 5 inches wide I was just wanting to put some sort of like tape or sum n as I ain't sinking a lot of cash in this giant thing. Lol. The damn car is so big its really only about 2% of the seat that's messed up. Then I have some Wolfgang leather conditioner I was gonna put on it to bring the other 98% of the leather back to life again. Was looking at something called tare aid. Anyone use this stuff or anything like it?

This or something like it, but you may have to get a larger piece of leather for the patch itself. Good luck!
