Hi Mari! My name is Maddy and I work for an outdoor gear repair shop in Denver, Colorado.
I would sew a folded-over layer of fabric over the top portion of the mesh (on top of where it detached from the jacket), and then reattach the mesh to your shell with a line of stitching over your new fabric addition. Putting in the extra layer of fabric at the top can give the mesh more structure as you’re trying to reattach.
If you’re worried about waterproofness in any way, I would recommend getting some seam tape to iron onto your seams.
I hope this can help, I’m interested in hearing how your repair turns out. Best of luck!
