Leather patches on jeans

[rome1]

I threw this up to show the difference between the pld pbj patch and the new one on my 007's. Its really beautiful, and the texture is awesome.

That one comes like that.

Mine started out white. =P

I'm gonna echo that sentiment. Headtowall has the grail of PBJ's as far as I'm concerned. Sorry that you think they're too tight

It definitely looks good, not to mention the rest of those jeans. Can't wait to see how the 007s break in.

Thanks Justin! The fit's not terrible, just a little more snug than would be ideal. Lesson learned: Don't get other jeans in the same size as your APCs.

I love how the color of the hair-on-hide varies.

"ME" envious...nice leather patches guys!!!

[bobby alto]

my new SC40301A "Okinawa"

does anyone have any experience to how the snake skin holds up to belt use?

surprisinglyl well, my patch is beginning to fray at the corners and i doubt that is from the belt

Wow some of these patches are beautiful. I love the cowhide, snake skin and just of the imprinted leather.. I saw someones personally made jeans on here a little while ago.. Perhaps they might have been in a Momotaro thread and thye had pony hide patches. They were fantastic

also what does självtillfredställelse mean David...

I have seen this before...

thanks all for the wonderful tag share

JB patches are so attractive and simple.

Agreed. Is it weird to want jeans just for the patch?

[rome1]

I hesitated typing that it made me want a pair. Didn't want to sound too "edmondish"

I've wanted some jeans for the patch

Pretty cool fact about leather patches that I didn't know, quoted from here.

very interesting. never thought abouth why only jeans have leather patches

[Charlie Delta]

^ to be honest I'm not sure if you should believe that.

I've never read or heard about it anywherer else then on there.

And also the placement of the leather patch really doesn't make much sense if that was it's function. Try reaching a knife back there to polish it, I always just use my right tigh, no need for leather.

[Guest declasse]

yes, maybe too interesting to be true. wonder where the leather patch trdition came from?

I'm sure Paul T can answer this.
