Is there anyway to repair this tear on a jacket? The leather is sheep.

car seat or sofa repair guy makes miracles on this kind of patching with stuff, from what I see in youtube, they glue on backing material like felt or canvas under the hole as backing, and then they use transparent silicon glue, and smear it with a piece of flat edge of a semi flexible plastic cutout, wait it cure abit, and then run their thumb over it to knock off the shine and to leave grain of his fingerprint lightly, and then apply thin coat of primer perhaps oil based primer for oil paint, color it with gradation using small paintbrush to match the surrounding and dry it with a hairdryer.

Before doing semi permanent patch work . Can you live with a shorter sleeve or longer cuffs maybe?
