 Elbow patches - legacylad
As a nipper, I remember my Mum stitching leather elbow patches onto an old jacket of mine. It wasn’t allowed on school blazers ! My old Man used to give me a hard slap on the back of my head if he ever caught me with my elbows on a table, or anything else, so I really didn’t see the point of them.
More recently I’ve seen various generations with patches on long sleeve shirts ( obviously not short sleeve shirts doh). Not add ons but part of the original article. Looks broody stupid to me. What’s that all about then ? They’ve obviously never gone through the slap on head phase if it’s to stop the elbows wearing through, but as a fashion accessory?
Bit like this ongoing fashion for torn jeans, as worn by most generations. The holes in the knees of my old denims are through old age, hard graft and being too tight to buy a new pair of workwear.
