    Patches?

    Now sewing is one of my preferred living history pastimes, from either making new garments or even just repairing old ones, it always seems to get the public interested. However I have always been curious on the subject of patching garments.

    Now I've read several articles no here on how to correctly patch clothing, but i was wondering if anyone had any good hard evidence of patches used in the field? If anyone has any pictures of original clothing or even pictures of guys with patched clothing it'd be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

Then the lanyards are pulled..."     p. 185 Hardtack and coffee

      Curt,

      Is the crotch a patch too or is that part of the original pants. I have some pants that are in need of just that kind of work.

      Thanks,

        Hallo!

        My assumption is that it is a patch (making three in the image), but it could be a play of lighting.
