I can't find a denim jacket for the patches, and can't find paint that will stay on my leather.
I tried hot-gluing the patches on, and it actually looked decent, but the hot glue peels right off.
Super glue, or paint (and if so, what kind)?
Sew the patches onto the leather jacket. I know it's a PITA but it can be done and looks good once it's done. Get a multi-pack of needles of various sizes and find the smallest of them which will puncture the leather without breaking or bending. Use something like a thimble to push the needle thru and--if needed--use pliers to pull the needle thru the other side. I did it like that in my punk rock years. Of course, if you ever take the patches off you have little holes but I never took mine off execpt to put others in the same places.
