Default Patches
Just got a leather coat for Christmas. I'm wanting to put a few patches on it and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions. Like, what type of patch and correct ways to sew it on? If there is any thing to stay away from? Thanks for any info.

Thanks

Put on whatever patch you like. I take my leather to a guy who sews leather for a living. He knows how to do it so I don't have to.

Personally I never liked the thought of poking holes in my leather jacket but that's just me. If I was going to do patches I'd do it on a vest.
Search "patches" on here for what NOT to do.

Welcome to the forum BTW.

Patches go on a vest, not a jacket. Get a vest you can wear over your jacket.
