"I've bought several suede elbow patches from Domestic Leather over the years, to protect my long-sleeve flannel shirts from wearing and tearing at the elbows. The elbow patches come in a nice variety of colors, although the shades of brown are difficult to judge from Domestic Leather's website photos. Each pair of patches comes neatly packaged with a needle and matching-color thread. (I pay a professional tailor to position and sew them onto my newly bought shirts). Domestic Leather ships the patches promptly by first-class mail. Although the elbow patches are on the expensive side, I feel they're well worth it to protect my shirts over the long term."
