Yes I patched them myself

Yes I know the patches stick out

And yes I do wear them out and about

EDIT: The back also has a few patches for those curious.

    Did you sew a matching patch on the other side of the fabric? Did you consider putting the patch only on the inside?

    I’ve not sewn a repair patch before, so I’m curious.

      I didn’t put any on the inside as I could feel them when I tried, the pants aren’t tight I’m just really particular about the feel of what touches my skin.

      These pants have basically been a learning platform for patching things lol

      I hadn’t done any patches before this pair of pants and at this point I’m getting pretty quick and good at it. There’s some seams that I can still stitch up (somehow, I’ll figure it out) but they’re improving.

        Awesome, thank you! I feel you on the inside patches, I just worry about stabilizing the pants enough to avoid the holes growing.
