[Request] How Should I Repair this Coat? (lemmy.world)

I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It's a tiny rip, but I don't want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39% nylon.
