How can I fix a tear in my leather recliner?

I have a 1" tear in the seat of my brown leather recliner and was wondering if there was some sort of patch that could be used to inconspicuously repair the tear before it spreads. Anyone have any ideas or experience in this department?

Many upholsterers can sell you a repair kit where you blend in color to match. You start with a close color and then lighten or darken it as you need to.It may not be perfect but it will be better than the tear.
