QuoteThey originated on sports coats along with the shoulder patch to prevent wear but due to the new heritage trends, they have been brought back in. I personally like them but don't don't have them on either of my tweed blazers due to them being so common now.
Nay.

OfflineElbow Patches On Blazers - Yay or Nay?
What do you guys think of elbow patches on blazers? Does it look good or does it look bad? Stylish or old-fashioned?
Tell me what you think.

OfflineI like them on heavier jackets. On knitwear or lighter blazers whose sleeves I'd push up (sacrilege, I know) in Spring/Summer they spoil it for me because they look crap rolled up.

OfflineIt's a big thumbs up from me.
They look great, as Sam says, on heavier, more autumnal fabrics: tweeds, heavy wools, corduroy all work well. And with the heritage trend, big news this AW they are bang on the money right now.

OfflineA definite yay from me too, I think they look great on tweed blazers and I also like them on knitwear too.
