My tweed argyll jacket is now almost forty years old and has developed a small (~1/2 cm. or 3/16") round hole near the elbow. It's a bit noticeable because the jacket is lovat green tweed and the liner is dark blue. The jacket looks like new in every other way.
Does anyone know if there is a way to mend it? Are leather elbow patches acceptable on a jacket with gauntlet cuffs? Is it time for me to splurge on a new one and consign this one to the bin?
