-2 Sew-on Large Natural Suede Leather Elbow Patches Size 4.75 in x 6.5 in w/Perforated Edges for Easy Sewing - (Grey)

These patches are beautiful and let me extend the life of my husband’s favorite cashmere sweater. Although hard to tell from the photo, they were a very good color match for the dark green sweater. The pre-punch holes made them incredibly easy to sew on. I used a flat tissue box in the sleeve to create a workspace, so I wouldn’t catch the sleeve below. It worked pretty well.

Pre-made holders make them easy to sew on. Thick. Good quality.

This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to add some flair to a cheap felt blazer and these were just the ticket. They're good quality, fairly thick, uniform color, and the precut holes make them easy to sew on. I sewed mine using heavy duty thread. Pinned it on the jacket, used a heavy duty thread and went about once using a back stitch and again using a whip stitch. Would definitely buy again.

I removed one star for the price, though I received true leather suede elbow patches. I saw other reviewers say that they received non-leather items. The holes were well spaced and the edges clean and the thickness just right for flexibility and strength.

First a shout out to an American product. I loved that it matched my shirt that I wanted to sew the patches onto, and they came with FABULOUS instructions for how to sew them on. They are holding up really well and I am now thinking about going through the closet and seeing what other articles of clothing I could jazz up with some patches on the sleeves. They come in a variety of wonderful colors and will pretty much set you apart with this addition to your shirt, jacket, sweater, or whatever you want to put a patch on.

I didn’t open this bec the actual color is much lighter brown than pictured.

I have a beloved cashmere zip up hoodie I got for Christmas. In this era of energy conservation, its blessed warmth can stand up to a lowered thermostat. However, the elbows wore out. Enter these nifty leather patches! Holes are pre-punched! Put the sweater on and use chalk to mark the best place to put the patches. Centering the patches over the holes might not look right when you are wearing the sweater. (I learned THIS the hard way.) The patch will work great even if the hole is near the edge of the patch. As long as there is about 1/2 inch of good solid fabric past the hole to sew the patch to, it's fine. I recommend cutting a piece of cardstock to slip inside the sleeve when doing the repair. It makes it super easy. It's ok if you are old and can't use a tiny needle and thread anymore. I used a huge darning needle and some stout button thread, and had no problems. I would recommend using quality silk thread if one is repairing a quality garment. Silk is strong, and the cotton button thread I originally used wore out on me and I had to re-do it. The sweater is good to go for at least another five years.
