Need A Patch?

Little leather elbow patches seem to be having their moment on knits, blazers, jackets, & coats.  This take on the menswear trend creates a well-worn gentleman's look. Some of these pieces (knits specifically) seem to fit wide, incorporate shorter hemlines, & can be overall unflattering. However, if you still want to try this look, a variety of patches are available on Ebay for next to nothing :)  DIY or reinventing an old garment are fun ways to try any trend.
