Elbow patches for jumpers and knee patches for trousers
Elbow patches in leatherette and suedette
Elbow patches and knee patches for clothing
We have two types of elbow patches: models in imitation suede, or suedette, being the finer and perfectly adaptable on all jumpers and cashmere sweaters, sweat shirts and cotton clothing. They can also be used as knee pads on children’s clothing.
You will also find here our elbow patches in imitation leather, or leatherette. Being thicker, they are great on coats and jackets or thicker jumpers, as well as being sturdy knee patches on jeans or work trousers.
See our video showing how to apply elbow patches, which will give you tips to make it quick and easy.

Iron-on elbow patches
The suedette elbow patches have an adhesive side, which is practical for putting them in place. However, over time the adhesive is less effective on certain fabrics, so we recommend sewing them in place. You can use the thread of your choice. For jumpers, we prefer our Laine Saint-Pierre or Tonkin thread to add a touch of sparkle.
All our elbow patches are pre-punched which makes things a lot easier and neater.

The history of elbow patches
Elbow patches started off as a practical way for university professors to prolong the life of their jackets, easily worn out from daily wear. This developed into a fashion, as people thought it gave them an intelligent look.
Elbow patches, a fashion must-have!
After academics and would-be intellectuals, elbow patches became very fashionable in the more affluent classes, especially in the world of outdoor sports at the beginning of the 20th century. The gentry could be seen hunting or on their velocipedes with jackets adorned with these patches. As fashion is fickle, the trend fell out of favour in the 1960’s.
In the 2000’s a new fashion appeared, with false elbow pads on t-shirts and a revival of the patch on jumpers. Nowadays, the tendency is towards waste reduction and visible mending. The range of colours is more extensive and now it is possible to give an uplifting new life to favourite clothes, or even add an original touch to new ones. Empty out your wardrobes! Recycle and repair! We show you how and you will be surprised how simple it is.
