fixing some of the less than perfect areas, used liquid stitch applied with pressure on the ass and elbow where the stitching is ripped. The stuff was recommended on ADV rider as a great cheap repair for busted overlapping seams. Threw some duct tape over the knee too to keep it from fraying any more, and I ordered a patch and zipper kit from aerostich that i will use on the knee and to fix the broken zipper pull tabs
