The elbow-patch look is a look that gained popularity in colleges, since at one point it seemed to be a style that teachers adopted. But of course, anyone in any profession can wear this type of blazer. Aside from style, one of the advantages of this type of jacket is the fact the patches serve to reinforce the elbow area.

I guess at some point patches on jacket elbows were put there to cover up holes on old jacket sleeves, but now they are there more as a style than anything else. Over time the look – long associated with teachers – has become a classic. Perfect for the fall season, and great in combination with jeans and desert boots.
