100 mph tape, aka 90 mph tape, aka Army green tape.  Works well in a myriad of circumstances.  Mended clothing, made ersatz knee pads so I didn't have to mend clothing, fixed rucks, many other uses.  And yes, it can be used to patch rotors on helicopters - as told to me by a very senior MW5 who had done so.
If I had my druthers, I'd use Gorilla.  Hasn't failed me yet, but I don't own leather luggage.
I do own some silver duct tape.  It's like the Force, it has a dark side, a light side and it holds the universe together.
