I'm thinking of adding elbow patches to one of my blazers. I know you've done this recently, so I thought I'd ask: did you just hand it off to your tailor, or did you have to provide your own fabric? Also: what does elbow-patching tend to cost? Thanks for listening, stay awesome ~John

Not sure what it costs to do the patches, as I got it done with several other alterations, too.

As for if your tailor has patches, no clue. Again, I provided the fabric, so that wasn’t an issue. Might be worth it to give your guy a call and see what’s up. Either way, finding patches/material isn’t hard on eBay and I’m pretty sure it’s an easy thing for them to do and they’ve probably done it before.
