🧥 Dritz 55230-2 Dark Brown Suede Cowhide Elbow Patches, 4-3/4 x 6-1/4-Inch, Set of 2 Review

I must have very pointy elbows from having rubbed holes in many sweaters and light jackets while sitting with my elbows on the table. Yes, I know it's bad manners, but we all do it from time to time. I'm not a sewing expert and it took forever but I did it. Give the jacket a cute equestrian or western style and add a bit of cheekiness. I remove the star because the suture holes are small and hard to see. Also, they're big, so I'd recommend going down a size for sweaters or things with smaller…

I patched two sweaters where the elbows were worn. Both sweaters are handmade. Genuine cowhide leather patches, with large holes, are clearly visible, sewn with a thick strong thread and worn well. Sometimes it's worth buying a higher quality if it's only going to be worn in one spot. With these patches I hope that the two sweaters will be worn for many years.

Anyway, for the price, it was…

I also purchased these elbow patches to complete my 11th Doctor Who costume. The patches are of very good quality, the holes are perfectly punched and evenly spaced. I had to trim a bit on the sides to make the border even around the perimeter, but that's to be expected. I'd rather have a little more material than finish it. The only downside to this product, as with all Dritz patches, is that the clip goes THROUGH the patch to secure it in the package. There are two holes at the top of the…

Excellent elbow pads. It's a nice thick leather with pre-holes for easy hand sewing and I look forward to wearing it over my wife's dark wool sweater. If it weren't for the manufacturer's packaging, I would rate it higher. was uncomfortable and harmful to plasters. A giant staple held them together with a cardboard hat. It was difficult to gently unzip and remove the zipper, and no matter how smoothly this clip detaches, it leaves two very noticeable holes in each patch. I don't know if these…
