Clothes that can be repaired and worn for long periods are made much differently than the crap we wear now. Heavier materials, much more expensive and durable fasteners, more mass at joints, less comfortable and more expensive overall. There's reasons we don't make clothes that way now.
You can put a patch on a cheap T shirt but it's still going to be lace shortly afterward.

It seems like a very low risk way to start dealing with fast fashion culture to me. It definitely isn’t a complete solution though.
