Patches?

I am, of course, not referring to a potentially name for a hypothetical dog, but rather posing the question of adding flare to your outerwear. I am not speaking of anything outlandish or ridiculous, just something subtle to make you stand out from the crowd.

I've found some cool vintage patches lying around and have seen some on the 'interwebs.'

I think that if the right patch were to be found it could really make a B.A. military coat, or something of the like, look that much better.

Am I wrong to think this?

Excuse me, I meant to use the word flair.

 
The use of the word refers to the use of buttons, patches, or other various accessories on or attached to your clothing.

I had hoped you were referring to leather elbow patches on a tweed jacket, but I guess not.

For me, that is a given; my tweed jacket with its brown elbow patches just looks too good together. I cannot wear a tweed jacket without them.

Yes, another topic in the dealings of patches.
To go in your direction, for me, elbow patches are a given in the dealings with tweed. My tweed jacket with its brown elbow patches just looks too good together.I cannot say that I own a tweed jacket that is absent of them.

I would try and avoid any patches and elbow patches but if that is your style then try and not make it too big that it draws too much attention to it. It should be subtle
