how do i mend a vertical rip in the seat of my corduroy pants?

while corduroy is very hard wearing,it easily frays from seams or tears/rips.it will probably need patching.sew invisible mend on rip,then sew strengthening patch on inside of denim or calico material.alternatively buy a ready made patch large enough to look authentic,and sew over and to cover completely ripped area, giving good,strong repair.need to cover about 1 inch either side of rip for secure repair
