has anyone tried to remove elbow patches on a jacket?

[HRoi]

i am bored watching the Celtics-Cavs game and am eyeing this flannel Cucinelli with evil intent

or am i going to ruin the jacket?

If you're removing the patches, may I have them?

Alternative proposal: add suede elbow patches to another jacket!

Aren't the patches put there to cover worn spots? Why would one remove them except to replace worn patches (now that's getting some mileage out of a coat) with new ones.

Have you seen a Cucinelli jacket?

Imatlas, I can't really say that I have. Beyond the tailor, shirtmaker, shoemaker and my usual haberdashery (doesn't carry cucinelli), I haven't been in a menstore in years. But don't tell anyone, I don't want my SF membership suspended for truancy.

What is your usual haberdashery, by the way?

I hold Cucinelli responsible for the proliferation of elbow patches in fashion today, and they are everywhere at the moment. Suddenly they're all over women's wear as well.

I suppose there are two: Paul Stuart & Ben Silver. Until Lords in the Burlington Arcade closed (a few years back now), it was a third.
